Michigan Regional Council of Carpenters and Millwrights Contemplating Presidential Candidate Endorsement Source: Michigan Regional Council of Carpenters and Millwrights
Walter R. Mabry, Executive Secretary/Treasurer, Michigan Regional Council of Carpenters and Millwrights (MRCC) stated today that the MRCC is not, at this time, endorsing any candidate for the 2004 Presidential election in November. However, Mr. Mabry contends that he has not yet given up on President George W. Bush.
'There are many different views among the members of the MRCC on the issue of Presidential endorsement,' stated Mabry. 'Any decision on the Presidential campaign will occur at the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America in Washington, D.C.'

The 157,000-member Michigan Education Association is for him, as are United Auto Workers union Region 1D, the Michigan Regional Council of Carpenters and the West Michigan Building Trades Association.
