Union Endorsements Flying Curry's Way Democratic candidate for Marion County Prosecutor, Terry Curry, is beginning to receive some major union endorsements (and...presumably...some big campaign dollars) which should provide a shot in the arm for the former Deputy Prosecutor.
The United Steelworkers Local 1999 endorsed Curry earlier this week. Here is the news release:
INDIANAPOLIS - United Steelworkers of America Local 1999 today endorsed Democratic candidate Terry Curry in his campaign to be the next Marion County prosecutor.
"We've thrown our support behind Terry Curry to be the next Marion County prosecutor because we're convinced that he will return integrity and professionalism to the office," said Chuck Jones, president of USW Local 1999.
"Terry will be a full-time prosecutor who will focus on what's really important -- making our neighborhoods and our city safer. As a former prosecutor, Terry understands what's at stake, and he knows how get the job done," Jones said.
Curry said he was honored to receive the endorsement of the United Steelworkers. "This endorsement from the men and women of United Steelworkers Local 1999 means a lot to me personally, and it is a great boost to my campaign," Curry said.
