for Secretary of State
March 28, 2022 — Today, Tanisha
Sullivan announced that her campaign for Secretary of State has received the
support of UNITE HERE Local 26, which represents hospitality workers in Massachusetts
and Rhode Island.
“Our next Secretary of State has a vital role to play in ensuring
that every worker has a voice in our democracy, in protecting and expanding
voting rights, and in ensuring that worker’s rights, including access to
benefits and safe working conditions, are a priority,” said Sullivan. “I’m so
grateful to Local 26 for their support and belief in this campaign. I look
forward to continuing to work alongside labor to strengthen the rights and
opportunities afforded to all workers and their families.”
“Tanisha Sullivan has been a leader, an advocate and a friend to
Local 26 for years. She knows what we need to do to expand voting rights and
she knows how to do it. We are honored to endorse her candidacy for
Massachusetts Secretary of State,” said Carlos Aramayo, President, UNITE HERE
Local 26.
UNITE HERE Local 26 represents around 12,000 hospitality workers
across Massachusetts and Rhode Island, including workers at hotels,
restaurants, and university dining halls, as well as at the Boston Convention
Centers, Fenway Park, and Logan International Airport.
Today’s announcement comes less than a week after
Sullivan announced the support of several leading elected officials in Boston,
including State Representative Russell Holmes, State Representative Nika
Elugardo, State Representative Liz Miranda, Boston City Councilor At-Large
Julia Mejia, Boston City Councilor At-Large Ruthzee Louijeune, District 5 City
