Teamsters Local Union 952 Endorse OCDA Todd Spitzer for Reelection

Teamsters commend Spitzer’s integrity and leadership in office, and steadfast effort to keep OC safe

(Orange County, CA) – Today, Teamsters Local Union 952 endorsed Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer for reelection.  The Union represents Orange County’s truck drivers, coach operators, office, food, and warehouse workers.

“We are proudly supporting Todd Spitzer’s reelection because he has kept Orange County safe for our members and their families,” said Teamsters Local 952 Secretary-Treasurer Eric Jimenez. “Todd has stood side by side with union members to fight for safer and more humane workplaces, and he has been a steadfast guardian of our collectively bargained rights.”

“Throughout Todd’s 30-plus years of public service to Orange County, he has demonstrated continuous integrity, leadership and a true commitment to bettering our community for all residents and families,” Jimenez continued. “We are grateful to have a true champion like Todd in the District Attorney’s Office.”

In their endorsement letter, Union officials also credited Spitzer for helping them prevent a strike by nearly 600 OCTA Coach Operators:

“Thanks to your support, we were able to mitigate a strike, keep our members off the picket lines, and not disrupt bus service for the thousands of riders who depend on mass transit… [Your efforts] truly made a difference to reaching a positive outcome both for our OCTA members and the patrons who depend on public transportation.”

“I am proud to be supported by the men and women who work hard every day to keep Orange County running, from transportation, to office, food, and warehouse workers,” said Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer. “My top priority as their District Attorney is continuing to ensure strong public safety, so Orange County remains the safest major county in California to live, work, and raise a family.”

The Southern California Teamsters endorsement adds to the community support for Spitzer’s reelection, which includes all sectors of the District Attorney’s Office (legal, bureau, and clerical/support staff), as well as  the Orange County Employees Association, Hispanic 100, Crime Victims United, Crime Survivors PAC, Veterans Alliance of Orange County (VALOR), Association of Orange County Deputy Sheriffs, Orange County Professional Firefights Association, IAFF Local 3631, Los Angeles and Orange Counties Building and Construction Trades Council, Orange County Taxpayers Association, Orange County BIZPAC, Westminster Police Officers’ Association, Santa Ana Police Officers’ Association, and Huntington Beach Police Officers’ Association.

 — To say that I am shocked is an understatement. While it is quite odd to celebrate a leftist labor union endorsement, the issue is the far left attack machine behind Pete Hardin and the forces arraying for him. The fact that the Teamsters stood up for Spitzer and bucked the woke progressive stormtroopers is noteworthy.
