Democratic Party Nominee for the 40th District Senate, Kevin Ranker, has gained endorsements from NARAL, SEIU 925 and 775. 40th LD party chair Tom Pasma, and 40th LD Vice Chairs Roni Beall, also endorsed Ranker.

“I think it is important to get endorsed by the organizations that I consider the ‘good guys,’” said Ranker. “I am a strong supporter of all their causes: I’m for worker rights, for protecting women’s right to choose, and I am supportive of a vibrant cultural community.”

Dennis Angell, the NW Region Member Political Organizer from SEIU 925 said, “We believe Kevin Ranker will provide the kind of leadership working families need to truly make improvements on issues like early childhood education, K-12 education reform and health care.”
