Health care workers union backs Keating
Members of 1199 SEIU, the largest health care workers union on Cape Cod and SouthCoast, endorsed U.S. Rep. William R. Keating, D-Mass., the union announced Thursday.
Keating, who was first elected to the 10th Congressional District in 2010, is running for re-election in the new 9th District after Massachusetts lost a district and the map was redrawn.
The 1199 SEIU Massachusetts Executive Board voted to support Keating based on his record over the past year. The new district brings together SouthCoast with Cape Cod and part of the South Shore.
"A firm believer that 'politics as usual' won't move us forward, Congressman Keating is a man of action," said 1199 SEIU Executive Vice President Veronica Turner in a statement. "He is exactly what working families need in Massachusetts."
Bristol County District Attorney C. Samuel Sutter also seeks the Democratic nomination. Christopher Sheldon, a management consultant and Plymouth County Charter Study Commissioner, seeks the Republican nomination, and Peter White, a Mashpee motel owner, has said he is running as an independent.
