McKee picks up union endorsements as Democratic primary countdown continues

As the Democratic primary in Rhode Island approaches, Gov. Dan McKee continues to gain momentum with the endorsement of the Rhode Island Council 94 from AFSCME, a union representing 10,000 members. This union backing bolsters McKee's support among key labor groups, potentially influencing voter decisions in the upcoming primary. The significance of these endorsements lies in their ability to sway public opinion and underscore the political landscape, where labor unions hold considerable sway in shaping election outcomes. McKee's growing support signals a strong push for his campaign as he faces off against challenger Helena Buonanno Foulkes.
