The Facts

Labor and civil-rights icon Dolores Huerta has endorsed Scott Wiener for Congress. “I know the difference between a politician who talks about justice and one who fights for it,” Huerta said in her endorsement statement.

The Context

Huerta co-founded United Farm Workers, but she and the union make endorsements independently. Her support gives Wiener a powerful labor movement validator.

The GrowSF Take

Congrats to Senator Wiener for earning Huerta's endorsement. We support Wiener because he builds coalitions and turns pro-housing and civil-rights goals into state law. Huerta knows his record and agrees.
