ELECTION RESULTS: Victory for Commissioner Barbara Jordan, a Jackson Champion!
Last night’s Primary Election proved victorious for Commissioner Barbara Jordan and several other of our union-backed candidates, with victories in 18 races and a run-off in three! Jordan, a long-time Jackson supporter, beat challenger Shirley Gibson, with 59% of the vote. Jordan’s win was a huge victory for our union, as several of our members worked on the Commissioner’s campaign through canvassing, phone banking and other volunteer activities. Jordan has been one of the most vocal and ardent supporters of our public hospital on the Miami-Dade County Commission dais and we are thrilled that she will remain in office. Thanks again to our members and staff who showed their support for a true Jackson champion!
