Carpenters Local 40

September 30, 2009

The Carpenters Local #40 endorsed Vice Mayor Sam Seidel for reelection to the Cambridge City Council this week.

"We need someone like Sam who understands our issues around development and permitting," said Joe Power, a spokesman for the union. "Sam understands these issues. On behalf of Local 40, I am pleased to offer our support (for Sam)."

The union endorsed Seidel in his victorious campaign in 2007. Seidel is a tireless advocate for affordable housing and making sure working families can afford to live in the city.

“I’m happy to have the support of the Carpenters Local 40,” Seidel said. “With their help, I will keep fighting for working class Cantabrigians, creating affordable housing, and reducing the cost of living here in Cambridge.”
