“Time and again, Councilmember Elissa Silverman has demonstrated that she stands with working people,” said David Allison, Business Manager of the Baltimore Washington Laborers’ District Council. Councilmember Silverman’s two greatest legislative accomplishments during her first term—paid family leave and strengthening the unemployment insurance program—are indicative of her efforts to put working people front and cente

“Councilmember Silverman provides an essential, independent voice on the Council,” said Allison. “She scrutinizes the details, and is not afraid to push back on the status quo.”

Across the Baltimore-Washington region, the BWLDC seeks to endorse and support candidates for elected office who align with the values of its members. The endorsement of DC At-Large Councilmember Elissa Silverman for re-election is part of that effort.
