Green Bay, WI – Today, Dr. Kristin Lyerly, the Democratic nominee for Wisconsin’s 8th Congressional District, announced an endorsement from the Wisconsin AFL-CIO. The endorsement comes after numerous high profile national groups and elected officials have come out in support of her campaign and after she topped the entire field in fundraising.
“The Wisconsin AFL-CIO is proud to endorse Kristin Lyerly in Wisconsin’s 8th Congressional District,” said Wisconsin AFL-CIO President Stephanie Bloomingdale. “Dr. Lyerly shares our union values of hard work, fair pay, and building an economy that works for all. She will fight for a Wisconsin where working families can get ahead and work to ensure every worker has the freedom to join a union.”
“I’m running for Congress to fight for working people across the 8th District because everyone deserves the opportunity to earn a living wage, food and housing they can afford, and the freedom to make their own personal medical decisions,” said Dr. Kristin Lyerly. “The working men and women of the Wisconsin AFL-CIO move our state forward through strong unions. I’m proud to have them with me in this race.”
