When the Rochester Labor Council, AFL-CIO, announced its endorsements over the weekend, one County Legislature race was conspicuously absent: the 29th District.
The Council endorsed two Democratic Party-backed candidates facing primary challenges: Nora Bredes in LD-18 and incumbent Legislator Carrie Andrews in LD-21. There's another primary in LD-29, which covers the northeast part of the city. Party designee Saul Maneiro is up against challenger Michael Patterson, who's already on the general election ballot on the Working Families line.
The simple explanation: Both candidates have support from different labor groups and there was no consensus, says Aron Reina, the Labor Council's lead field organizer.
The Labor Council also endorsed three candidates for five open seats on City Council: Tom Brennan, incumbent Carolee Conklin, and Matt Haag. Some of the candidates didn't request an endorsement, Reina says.
