AFGE delegates re-elect Cox as ‘challenges have never been higher’

​Agreeing with incumbent President J. David Cox that “challenges have never been higher” to federal workers, delegates to the Government Employees (AFGE) convention in Las Vegas last week elected him to a third 3-year term running the 317,000-member – and growing – union. Delegates also elected Everett Kelly, a district VP, as Secretary-Treasurer. “I’m ready to put it all on the line and lead our members to victory in every fight and against every challenge,” Cox said. “This is about being the biggest, strongest, most organized, and engaged union there is, and I’m not going to stop until we reach that goal. We see the fight ahead. We will take those challenges head on, and as one union we will prevail!”
