Solorio Receives Early and Important Labor Endorsements for his 2014 Senate Race 

These endorsements, plus a $450,000 campaign warchest, position Solorio as strong candidate in the 34th Senate District

“I’m humbled to have the early support of trade unions representing nurses, firefighters and construction workers. A son of farmworkers, I understand the critical value every labor group offers in California and believe the fight for fair wages, benefits and working conditions is a real one,” says Trustee Solorio.
