An impressive labor endorsement for Eric Griego: The International Brotherhood of Teamsters and Teamsters Local 492 today announced their endorsement of State Senator Eric Griego in New Mexico’s First Congressional District.

“I’m honored to have earned the support of the working men and women from the Teamsters union," Griego said. "I look forward to working with them to create jobs, fight for working families and create opportunity for all New Mexicans.”

Griego is currently a State Senator and former Albuquerque City Councilman who is currently unopposed for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Congress in the First Congressional District. He has made protecting seniors, children and families by fighting for Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security key issues in his campaign

“In Congress I’ll always be a strong voice to put working people before Wall Street and big corporations,” Griego added.

The Teamsters are the first labor union to endorse Griego. For more information go to www.griegoforcongress.com.
