 D.C. City Council Ward 4 candidate Janeese Lewis George is among the hundreds of current or former union members running for office this year across the country. George was a member of AFGE Local 1403 when she worked for the D.C. government’s attorney general office. “Being an AFGE union member has clearly shaped and informed Janeese's perspective as a public servant and is an important reason why the DC Labor Council endorsed her candidacy,” said Metro Washington Council president Dyana Forester. “We are looking forward to working on a pro-worker agenda with her once she is elected.” Other AFGE members running include Ceretta Smith (Georgia State Senate District 23), Valbrun Almonord (Georgia's 3rd Congressional District) and Hillary Scholten (Michigan's 3rd Congressional District).
