CWA District 4 Endorses Diane Young’s Bid for Congress
CWA District 4 Vice President Linda Hinton : “Diane is the clear choice in this race.”
Sterling Heights, MI — Today, Democratic candidate for Michigan’s 10th Congressional District Diane Young announced that she received the endorsement of the CWA District 4. They now join the Roofers and Waterproofers Local 149, Detroit Federation of Musicians, and the OPEIU Local 40 in the growing labor movement behind Diane. Young’s campaign has been the only campaign to announce dozens of key endorsements from local leaders such as State Senators Mallory McMorrow and Rosemary Bayer and would be the only financial planner serving in Congress.
“We are endorsing Diane because of her unwavering support for working-class men and women,” said Linda Hinton, Vice President of CWA District 4. “Diane’s union roots give her a deep understanding of the dignity of work and the essential elements for success in America. As a financial planner, Diane understands the daily challenges middle-class families encounter and has solutions to address them. We are enthusiastic about collaborating with Diane in Congress due to her dedication to advocating for workers, ensuring safer working conditions, fairer wages, and the growth of our community.”
“I am honored and grateful to receive the endorsement from CWA District 4” said Diane Young. “I am committed to working tirelessly to make sure workers are safe, compensated fairly, and to creating an environment where they can thrive. I am committed to standing up against corporate greed alongside the CWA so we can deliver results for working-class families.”
The daughter of a secretary and a union carpenter, Diane Young grew up in Romeo where she was raised to work hard and always help others. Diane worked her way through school and became a financial planner. For over thirty years Diane has helped Michigan families like hers achieve their dreams. The business she started with a folding table and a phonebook has now helped hundreds of Michiganders buy homes, save for college, and plan for the future; as well as advise scores of small businesses on their growth and success. Diane now lives in Warren with her husband, in a family of proud union members. She still finds ways both big and small to help out our community.
