Andy Schor: For the people or the unions?

October 23, 2021

From a recent Schor for Lansing campaign flyer:

The question is: Are the values of union members the same as the values of the people of Lansing? The unions seem to be a lot more enthusiastic about him than Lansing residents in general. His opponent Kathie Dunbar says "81% of [his] funding comes from outside of Lansing and from special interests who benefit from him staying in office." Here are his top contributors from 1/1/2021 to 7/18/2021:

Plumbers & Pipefitters Local 333 PAC	11,000
International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers PAC	10,000
