As Oregon and America work to emerge from the worst recession in 70 years, we need a Governor who will rebuild our economy with the needs of working families and the middle class in mind.

The Oregon AFL-CIO and Working America Recommend:

For Oregon’s working families, there’s a clear choice for Governor

A Solid Plan for Jobs John Kitzhaber has developed a detailed plan to create more good jobs for Oregonians, now and for the future. He has also made clear he will make Oregon’s labor movement a close partner to ensure those jobs rebuild the middle class with family wages and benefits.

A Strong Record for Labor As a legislator, Senate President and Governor, John has stood with working families time and again including standing up to one of the most anti-worker legislatures in Oregon history. He is a lifelong supporter of middle class Oregonians having a strong voice in the workplace.

John Kitzhaber for Oregon Governor

When considering a recommendation in the governor’s race, the Oregon AFL-CIO and Working America carefully compares the candidates, their records and stances, with an endorsement requiring at least a two-thirds majority of the member unions. In the 2010 Democratic Primary election, John Kitzhaber has earned that endorsement.

John Kitzhaber on the Middle Class“While most people think of World War II as the

hallmark of the ‘Greatest Generation,’ they had another

great accomplishment: building the middle class and

making the American Dream possible for America’s

working families.

The Army for that great cause was the Labor movement.

I got into public life to make a difference in the day-to-

day lives of Oregonians. That’s what unions do – every

day. Ensuring that Oregon’s jobs are good jobs that can

support a family. Fighting to make sure that everyone has

access to health care. Making sure that Oregon’s working

families have a seat at the table as we build an even greater

Oregon.

That’s why I have always been proud to have the support of Oregon’s union members.”
