Surprise Endorsement

The Franklin Times -

At a rally today in North Riegel, the TPP revealed a major endorsement that may impact the race to control the General Assembly. After being introduced by Party Spokeswoman Lauren Hensley, TPP Leader Chaffins took the stage in North Riegel's capital, Duluth. Chaffins message was clear and direct. He called for a government of reform. Pointing to the economic crisis gripping the country, Chaffins highlighted his party's plans to reform the education, energy, and economic systems.

Then to highlight his party's economic message he made the surprise introduction of National Workers Union President Doug Miller. Miller than took the podium and announced that his organization, the largest labor union in Franklin, was formally endorsing the TPP in the upcoming elections. Miller explained that the TPP was committed to the working and middle classes.

He added, "The TPP is the best representative in this race to represent the interests of middle class Franklin. Their policies will maintain jobs here while preserving our nation's ability to compete in the global economy. The NWU's membership fully supports this party and will actively work for its electoral victory."

The NWU endorsement will only add to the organizational strength the TPP has built. In the past two General Assembly elections, organized labor was very efficient at turning out its membership for their political allies.
