ACSS President Arlene Espinoza with Connie Leyva (for Senate SD20) at the ACSS Board of Director's meeting on September 20, 2014 in Ontario, CA.
ACSS' Political Program is in full swing due to the upcoming elections on November 4th. During the ACSS Board of Director's meeting in September 2014, ACSS was delighted to have Connie Leyva appear as a guest speaker. Leyva knows and understands the struggles facing State Supervisors. In 1995, she became a Union Representative and 7 years later, went on to become the first woman president of a UFCW (United Food and Commercial Workers) local union in Southern California. Leyva's leadership in the labor movement and her dedication to worker’s rights has made her committed to working toward fair pay and better working conditions with her time and resources. ACSS knows that Leyva will stand up for the rights of supervisors, managers and other excluded employees.
Support Connie Leyva and other ACSS-endorsed candidates by volunteering now in this critical seat for Senate District 20. Or email connieleyvaforsenate@gmail.com.
