MADISON – Today, the Wisconsin Laborers’ District Council announced its endorsement of Judge Pedro Colón’s campaign for Wisconsin Supreme Court.
“Throughout his career, Judge Pedro Colón has worked to ensure that every Wisconsinite, including working families, has equal access to justice and equal protection under the law,” said Kent Miller, President/Business Manager of the Wisconsin Laborers’ District Council. “Judge Colón shares the same values of fairness and opportunity as our union, and we need his voice on the Wisconsin Supreme Court.”
“Laborers are the first ones on the job site and the last to leave, working through every season to build the roads and bridges we all count on,” said Judge Pedro Colón. “People count on our courts the same way, and they deserve a justice who works hard and treats everyone equally under the law. I’m proud to have the Wisconsin Laborers’ District Council with us in this campaign.”
