Colorado labor organizations work for dramatic increase in voter registrations:



Denver-Working with statewide affiliates, the Colorado AFL-CIO has registered more that 13,500 new voters from union homes across Colorado since March of 2011.  This marks a 15% increase in union household voter registrations over that time period and is the second highest percentage increase in the Country.

“We are proud of the hard work that has allowed us to increase voter registration among union households by 15%,” said Mike Cerbo, Executive Director of the Colorado AFL-CIO. “The last 18 months have paid off to ensure that working family values are heard in the ballot box and that these values resonate with our elected officials.”

The national AFL-CIO has registered 450,000 voters from union households across the country including over 68,000 voters in Ohio.
