NEVADA LABOR MUST
NOT ENDORSE SHARRON ANGLE SHILL ANDREW CAUDILL
Send the issue back to the Northern Nevada Central Labor Council
Dear Sisters and Brothers:
Andrew Benjamin
Caudill
is Betsy DeVos in drag. He has been endorsed by Sharron
Angle's front group which wants to destroy public education through privatization.
Angle's
misleadingly named Washoe Republican Assembly website is replete
with endorsements of anti-union, right-wing fundamentalist candidates including
the opponents of Reno City Councilmember
Naomi Duerr, Washoe County Commissioner Kitty Jung, Commission candidate
Greg Smith, Reno Mayor Hillary Schieve and Attorney General candidate
Sen. Aaron Ford, D-Las Vegas.
Mr. Caudill's endorsement must be re-evaluated. Organized labor does not turn
on its friends. Dr. Debra Feemster,
a lifelong educator, was endorsed when she first ran for Washoe County School
District Trustee in 2016 and has served with distinction. She and her husband
Lonnie Feemster (IBEW 1245 ret.) are lifelong union members.
Mr. Caudill's own website is
replete with distortions, errors and less-than-half truths aka fake news. He
makes no mention of supporting the Nevada Prevailing Wage (Davis-Bacon)
Law with respect to school construction.
He uses Betsy DeVos/Sharron Angle right-wing code throughout: "Belief structures
are to be taught at home, not in public school." TRANSLATION:
So much for teaching the U.S. Constitution, civics, worker rights, civil rights
and the Civil War. Sex education is taboo and Planned Parenthood (by name) is
his enemy.
He pulls a number out of his...thin air by asserting that "823 district
staff members make $100K+ in total compensation." Perhaps he's running
in New York or Los Angeles or FantasyLand. You may read it all for yourself
via the top of the front page of NevadaLabor.com/
Dr. Feemster was not notified of endorsement interviews although her personal
cell number has long been published and was in the files of the council. E-mail
is far less reliable than our sisters and brothers at the US Postal Service.
Sharron Angle got her start in politics by running for school board in Nye County.
Her biggest accomplishment was preventing the Tonopah High School football team
from wearing black jerseys to a playoff game, uniforms the students purchased
themselves. Why? Black is the color of the devil.
Mr. Caudill's colors are false. Please send this race back to the Northern Nevada
CLC for further review.
