Sting­ing from 2014, the power­ful Culin­ary Work­ers Uni­on isn’t tak­ing any chances on elect­ing a pro-labor can­did­ate. Be­sides the 4th Dis­trict, which more than 21,000 mem­bers call home, it hasn’t en­dorsed in any oth­er race this cycle. The uni­on is go­ing all in for Ki­huen, send­ing out teams every day to knock on doors with a walk piece stat­ing that a vote for Ki­huen sup­ports “your culin­ary fam­ily.”

“I’ve been here six years with the uni­on. We’ve not done this kind of work for a down-tick­et race,” said Yvanna Can­cela, the uni­on’s polit­ic­al dir­ect­or. “We’re at our best when we are in a fight.”
