Part of that organized campaign effort is the powerful canvassing operation of the Culinary Workers Union Local 226 and Bartenders Union Local 165. Ted Pappageorge, secretary-treasurer of the Culinary, said the union ran the largest operation so far.
As part of its union canvassing program, members knocked on more than 900,000 doors and had more than 200,000 conversations with voters, Pappageorge said.
“While we were disappointed with the presidential results, we had amazing victories,” Pappageorge said.
The union helped re-elect Rosen and the other Democratic congressional incumbents, protected the Assembly and the Senate and supported Shelley Berkley for Las Vegas mayor, he said.
Pappageorge said Democrats were very clear about the economy, promising to take on price gouging, and he thinks overall the working class and the issues that matter to them were heard.
“We think Kamala Harris is a tremendous candidate and has fought for workers and proven herself,” he said. “But at the end of the day, we’ve had massive and major victories here in the state of Nevada, and we’re very proud of our work.”
