Statehouse Candidate of the Week: Nancy Dembowski


Nancy Dembowski, is the AFL-CIO endorsed candidate for House District 17. As a long time member of the Steelworker Organization of Active Retirees, and the wife of a Steelworker, she understands full well the benefits the union provides for working families in Indiana. She is dedicated to continuing her service to working Hoosiers as a state representative, especially when corporate interests are pushing dangerous Right-to-Work for less laws in the statehouse.

Representative Dembowski strongly opposes the Right-to-Work for less, because, "I personally know how important the benefits of the union are and would not vote for any legislation that jeopardized the strength of unions to collectively bargain. I am strongly opposed to Right-to-Work for less laws because they simply destroy unions and also end up decreasing wages for all workers."

But in order to make it back to the Indiana statehouse to stand up for Hoosier working families and fight Right-to-Work for less, Representative Dembowski needs the help of union members and the Labor 2008 program.

"I can't win without the support of union members, reaching out to your union brothers and sisters, by going door to door on labor walks, making calls on member to member phone banks, and sending local union mail. I know that with your hard work and the Labor 2008 program behind me, I'll be able to continue working hard for you all in our legislature."
