Union power at the ballot box: SEIU 1021 celebrates Mike Silva’s victory in Solano County
SEIU 1021 congratulates Mike Silva on his victory in Solano County’s 4th Supervisorial District race. Silva defeated Vacaville Mayor John Carli in the November 3 election, securing 55.4% of the vote in a significant win for organized labor and working families.
SEIU 1021 members helped power Silva’s campaign, knocking on doors, connecting with voters, and demonstrating the strength of union workers organizing political change. With Silva’s election, labor supporters now count a pro-union majority on the Solano County Board of Supervisors, creating new opportunities to advocate for county workers and essential public services.
“This victory shows what happens when union workers organize and make their voices heard,” said Elizabeth Harrison, SEIU 1021 Region A Vice President. “Our members put in the work because we understand the importance of having elected leaders who stand with working people. With a pro-union majority on the Board, we have an opportunity to strengthen public services, protect workers, and build a better future for Solano County.”
SEIU 1021 looks forward to working with Supervisor-elect Silva and the Board to advance workers’ rights, strengthen public services, and continue building worker power throughout Solano County.
