WASHINGTON, DC -- North America's Building Trades formally endorsed Hillary Clinton's campaign for President this morning.
"Today, North America's Building Trades are proud to endorse Hillary
Clinton's campaign for President," said Sean McGarvey, the
organization's president. "In these times of international strife and
uncertainty, our nation needs a leader with the toughness, strength,
intelligence and experience to successfully steer the United States
through tumultuous waters. Here at home, we trust that Secretary
Clinton will always do what's best for America's working families."
The Building Trades' endorsement closely follows the release of Secretary Clinton’s infrastructure plan
, Building Tomorrow’s Economy Today.
The comprehensive five-year, $275 billion plan would allocate $250
billion to direct public investment and place $25 billion in a national
infrastructure bank dedicated to maintaining the country's competitive
advantage in the 21st century economy. The infrastructure plan, which
supports an additional $225 billion in financing through the
infrastructure bank, would result in up to $500 billion in critical
infrastructure investments over the next five years. The Building Trades
and "Hardhats for Hillary" will advocate for successful implementation
of this proposal in all 50 states so that voters are educated on the
choice before them. Together, we can put America back to work."Secretary
Clinton's work on behalf of Building Trades workers and their families
is unquestioned," said McGarvey. "Her infrastructure plan is further
proof that she understands that the state of our nation's infrastructure
is a bellwether for the health of the American economy and for the
economic prospects of American workers. We commend Secretary Clinton
for putting forth a robust, yet entirely practical plan. She
acknowledges, in stark contrast to the other candidates in this
presidential race, that this is a national problem which requires a
bold, national, and realistic solution, not a pie-in-the-sky dream or a
piecemeal approach."

The
gay man who cofounded GOProud, once endorsed Mitt Romney, and feted Ann
Coulter has today endorsed Hillary Clinton for president.
And with that, Jimmy LaSalvia has seemingly completed his transformation from an ardent Republican to an independent who is
so disillusioned by where his former party is headed that he
wrote a book about it —
No Hope: Why I Left the GOP (And You Should Too).
