Attorney General Coakley and SEIU Member

By WCF Fellow: Trish

What better way to understand the needs of constituents than spending a day in their shoes? Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley this week will Walk A Day with Monica, a home health care worker and Service Employees International Union member.

Coakley received the critical endorsement from the SEIU local council, representing five unions and 60,000 workers. Walk A Day is a SEIU program to acquaint candidates with citizen’s concerns. Coakley will be caring for consumers and listening to workers’ concerns about their lives and their children’s futures.

Coakley’s been a leader on the issues important to workers and working families, including protecting workers rights, fighting for quality and affordable health care, and building a stronger and more stable economy.

The Women’s Campaign Forum applauds Attorney Coakley’s brand of leadership and proudly endorses her 2009 campaign for Senate. Check out Martha Coakley and our other endorsed candidates here.
