SACRAMENTO, CA – The Sheet Metals Workers’ Union No. 104 today announced its endorsement of Thien Ho in his campaign for Sacramento County District Attorney, joining a growing list of prominent elected, law enforcement and community leaders supporting him.
Spanning 49 counties across California with 12,000 members, Sheet Metal Workers’ Local Union No. 104 Representative Robert Kuks said of the membership’s endorsement:
“Thien Ho’s proven leadership is the right choice for Sacramento County District Attorney, especially now as working people demand progress on priorities that really matter to our families. Sheet Metal Workers’ Local No. 104 is endorsing Thien Ho because we know that he will stand with our working families to protect their quality of life and build a stronger community.”
“We wholeheartedly endorse Thien Ho, who with two decades of experience as a prosecutor, will provide justice to victims and support working families, by prosecuting those who engage in wage theft and hold them fully accountable so that we can protect as many construction workers as possible.”
“I am honored and humbled to receive the endorsement of the hard-working men and women of the Sheet Metal Workers’ Local No. 104,” said Assistant Chief Deputy District Attorney Thien Ho. “As chief of the Justice and Community Relations Bureau at the DA’s office, we unite around our shared values and the responsibility to take care of working families, while offering a new pathway for others,” Ho added.
