The Memphis and West Tennessee Building and Construction Trades Council voted to endorse Memphis Mayor A C Wharton, Jr in the 2011 election for Memphis Mayor.
In a letter from Council Officer Mike Scoggins, the construction trade council “with pride” announces the endorsement and states that they will do everything possible to assist Mayor Wharton with his re-election campaign.
“I appreciate the Memphis and West Tennessee Building and Construction Trades Council endorsement,” said Wharton. “I look forward to continuing to work with them and other unions on issues that are important to working people in Memphis.” The building trades represent 4,000 members and their families.
