Walker
The Indiana State AFL-CIO and the Indiana State Pipe Trades Association (ISPTA) on Thursday announced their endorsements of State Senator Kyle Walker in his re-election campaign for Senate District 31. Walker’s district encompasses parts of Hamilton and Marion counties, including all of Fishers and part of Lawrence.
In its endorsement, the Indiana State AFL-CIO thanked Walker for his strong commitment to working families. The Indiana State AFL-CIO is a federation of more than 400 local unions representing nearly 300,000 working Hoosiers.
“Senator Walker has been a champion for working families in his district and across the state,” said Brett Voorhies, President of the Indiana State AFL-CIO. “We thank him for his efforts to bolster our economy as well as his support for issues including workplace safety, retirement security and efforts to buy and build in Indiana.”
Walker also received the endorsement of the Indiana State Pipe Trades Association (ISPTA), a 100-year-old organization representing pipefitters, plumbers, welders and HVAC tech Locals across Indiana.
“State Senator Kyle Walker earned the support of the Indiana State Pipe Trades Association because he’s proven to be a leader who listens and who will stand up for the hard-working men and women who do quality work to build the backbone of our economy,” ISPTA Executive Director Darrek Davis said. “We believe our members and all Hoosiers can count on Senator Kyle Walker to be an advocate for good-paying jobs, training and skills development, excellent affordable healthcare and a strong quality of life.”
“I’m proud to be endorsed by the Indiana State AFL-CIO and the Indiana State Pipe Trades Association,” Walker said. “These organizations do important work to support hardworking Hoosiers. In the Senate, I will continue to fight for working families and policies that grow our economy and good-paying jobs.”
Walker has also been endorsed by the Indiana Chamber of Commerce.
