Teamsters Members Help With Successful Political Campaigns

Teamsters Local Union #696 members and retirees were extremely active in the recent Governmental Campaign cycle.  Their hard work resulted in several successful campaigns that put worker friendly candidates in office.

Governor Kathleen Sebelius won re-election as Governor following her first term support of workers in all aspects of their work and home lives. Labor worked hard for a Governor that recognizes workers in our state.

Nancy Boyda was elected as Congresswoman from the 2nd District of Kansas.  Nancy's arrival in Washington DC brings another vote on the side of working men and women in Kansas.
