Last week, members of both UNITE HERE Local 5 and the Hawaii Regional Council of Carpenters endorsed Tracy Arakaki for Hawaii State House District 33, to which Tracy stated:
“During my time in the news industry as an award-winning cameraman, I was also a member of IBEW. I learned the importance of protecting workers’ rights, fair compensation, and the contributions of our union brothers and sisters that work to stabilize and support the working families of our state.
I am honored to receive the support of thousands of hotel and service workers, as well as the carpenters who are integral to fixing our housing crisis, as I seek to be the voice of families in our district, many belonging to unions.”
