AFSCME endorses Meghan George for mayor

Meghan George's campaign for mayor continues to gain momentum with the support of AFSCME
Council 8 which represents over 150 Lakewood City workers.

AFSCME Council 8 (American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees) representing more than 80,000 working men and women throughout Lakewood and Ohio, formally endorsed George's candidacy recently. These hard-working members perform the daily services of our schools, cities, counties, state universities, townships, and libraries.

The AFSCME endorsement will be shared with all of its active and retired members. Additionally, AFSCME is encouraging its grassroots membership to support our campaign for Mayor of Lakewood.

In its endorsement, AFSCME leadership stated, "We wish you every success and look forward to working with you in the future for the betterment of Ohio."

"Administrations come and go," said George, "but the front line employees of Lakewood are the backbone our residents rely upon year-in year-out, decade after decade. I am deeply appreciative of the support of these hard-working employees.”

This support joins endorsements from the Cement Masons Local 404, and United Food & Commercial Workers Local 880, among others.
