Honored and proud to have received the endorsement of the Big Bend Labor Chapter of the AFL-CIO! Working together, we're focused on growing the local economy, raising incomes, and bringing high-quality jobs to Leon County.

I’m proud to have earned the endorsement from the Big Bend Labor Council, North Florida’s largest labor union representing more than 5,300 employees.

As the Collective Bargaining Representative for all Leon County teachers, I advocated on behalf of the unions to ensure good pay for a hard day’s work, and as your next City Commissioner, I promise to do everything in my power to fight for fair wages and safe working conditions for all workers.

“The Northwest Florida Federation of Labor and Florida AFL-CIO are happy to endorse Amanda Green for Congressional District 2. She has a vision to build the strength of workers and family farmers who are being crushed under the boot of high prices driven by corporate elites,” a statement from the organization reads.

“Amanda is committed to delivering on the issues that matter most to working families: lowering prices, access to food, higher wages, preserving and expanding social security, and universal, free-at-the-point-of-service healthcare. We look forward to working with her in Congress to win big for working families.”
