STEVENS POINT, Wisconsin – Multiple labor unions have endorsed Vinnie Miresse for Wisconsin’s 71st Assembly District.

Brian Oberstadt, President of the Portage County Labor Council, wrote: “As a County Board Supervisor, Vinnie has been a tireless advocate for working people. He will make an excellent addition to the Wisconsin State Assembly.” Miresse has pledged to continue to support labor unions should he get elected to the assembly in November.

IBEW Local 388 President, Dean Miller, stated: “[an] International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) endorsement is a reflection of our trust in Vinnie’s ability to lead with integrity, determination and an unwavering commitment to the labor movement, justice, and equality.”
In a Facebook post celebrating Labor Day, Miresse wrote: “I am a worker and have been my whole life. I stand with workers and workers stand with me.
