UAW Endorses Boswell for Congress
Des Moines, IA – Congressman Leonard Boswell received the support of the Iowa United Auto Workers State Community Action League (CAP) today. “I’m honored and proud to have earned the support of the UAW,” said Boswell. “These hard working men and women share my commitment to protecting working families, making college more affordable, creating jobs that can’t be outsourced and bringing health care to every American.”
"Leonard Boswell stood by our side time and time again in pushing for CAFE standards that help the environment, lessen our dependence on foreign oil, and produce manufacturing jobs across our country," said Dennis Walker, President of the Iowa UAW State CAP. "He fought to stop the sale of Maytag when our jobs were attacked, and has worked tirelessly to bring jobs back to the Newton area."
The UAW has approximately 30,000 active and retired members in Iowa.
