Giving his campaign a fresh boost of momentum, Former Santa Barbara City Councilmember and current State Assemblymember Das Williams announced Wednesday, March 9, 2016, that his campaign for Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors has won an exclusive endorsement from the Tri-Counties Central Labor Council.

“Das Williams is a true champion for working families and the middle class,” said Martel Fraser, president of the Tri-Counties Central Labor Council.  “Throughout his life, as a community organizer, city council member and State Assemblymember, Das has fought for a fair and just economy that creates opportunities for working families to succeed.  

“Das is a leader that we can count on to continue the fight for good jobs, fair wages and retirement with dignity on the Board of Supervisors. The 70,000 working men and women of the Tri-Counties Central Labor Council strongly support Das Williams for Supervisor,” Fraser said.
