California Nurses Association Endorses Das
California Nurses Association Endorses Das Williams for Assembly District 35
SANTA BARBARA, CA — Santa Barbara City Councilmember Das Williams announced today that healthcare leaders, the California Nurses Association (CNA), have chosen to exclusively endorse only his campaign for the 35th Assembly District.
In Legislative races featuring both male and female candidates, CNA has traditionally backed the female.
“Das Williams has amassed an impressive record of delivering for his community, and that’s why California’s nurses chose to support him in this race,” said Malinda Markowitz, R.N., Co-President for CNA and it’s national arm the National Nurses Organizing Committee (NNOC). “California faces steep challenges right now, and CNA is looking for principled, energetic leaders with the vision and experience of bringing people together to solve common problems. Das Williams is exactly that person. ”
Markowitz added, “In order to completely fix California’s health care system, we need a single payer system. CNA knows that Das Williams will not only be a vote for single payer, but also a committed champion who seeks to build a coalition behind the movement. Das Williams has our full fledged support in this campaign.”
CNA/NNOC is one of the nation’s premiere nurses’ organizations and health care unions, representing more than 87,000 registered nurses in hospitals, clinics, and home health agencies in 50 states. CNA is not only considered the leader on health care, but also women’s issues in general. They now join California NOW and countless others who are backing Williams’ candidacy.
“As a staunch supporter of single payer health care, I am deeply honored to have received the endorsement of the nurses who are leading this health care fight in California,” said Das Williams. “CNA has long been our state’s leader and voice on health care and women’s issues, and I can’t wait to be their champion in the State Legislature.”
As a Santa Barbara City Councilmember, Das Williams helped push the City Council to adopt a resolution in 2009 in support of Senate Bill 810 (Leno), the California Universal Health Care Act. He also pushed the City Council in 2007 to pass a resolution in support of SB 840 (Kuehl). Das Williams is an active member of Health Care for All – California, an organization dedicated to implementing universal health care in California.
Today’s announcement is just the latest in the series highlighting the support behind the Williams campaign. Das’s strong record on issues ranging from healthcare and the environment to education and job creation have earned him the backing of some of the most respected organizations and individuals throughout the state. Das’s background and work also recently earned him the California Democratic Party’s Region 10 Pre-Endorsement.
