NovemberLocal 3rd 38 General Committee Election on Political Education (COPE) Endorsements The following is a list of endorsements from your Local 38 Committee on Political Education (COPE) for the upcoming general election on November 3, 2020. The Local 38 COPE does not arrive at these endorsements easily or arbitrarily. The political positions of local, state and national politicians, as well as the impact of state and local ballot propositions, is vital to the future of Local 38 and our membership. Thus, we pay careful attention to the statements (public and private), campaign contributors and voting records of those running for office in our jurisdiction and where our membership lives. Whenever possible, we interview candidates personally, pressing them about issues important to Local 38 and organized labor. Where we can’t actually meet face-to-face, we rely on the recommendation of local, regional and statewide labor and building trades councils most of whom have interviewed local candidates about issues important to working families and their unions. Your COPE urges you to refer to this list when voting, and to support COPE backed candidates and measures. Prop . 15 . YES Prop . K .
