The Iowa City Federation of Labor (AFL-CIO) has issued a pair of local political endorsements.

The ICFL on Friday endorsed Rachel Zimmermann Smith for re-election as Johnson County Attorney and Rod Sullivan for reelection to the Johnson County Board of Supervisors.
The group says the Zimmermann Smith endorsement “underscores her proven track record of justice, community safety, and her steadfast support for the rights of the county’s workforce.”

The ICFL adds that Sullivan “has consistently demonstrated a commitment to the values that build strong communities: fair wages, workplace safety, and the right to collective bargaining. Throughout his tenure, he has remained a steadfast ally to organized labor, ensuring that county projects support local workers and that public services remain robust and accessible.”

The primaries are set for June 2nd, with the general election on November 3rd.
