Van Bramer thanked the UAW for their support, pledging to uphold the UAW's promise of social and economic justice for all working families.
"I am honored and pleased to have gained the support of the UAW for this upcoming election. I look forward to working hard on the council to ensure that all the women, men and familie s of the 26th have an independent-minded and accessible official in office who is committed to community service."
