Reverend Solomon Kinloch Jr. scores an endorsement from the United Auto Workers union. The UAW citing Kinloch's background as a member of the union at Local 235 and is the son of a UAW family.
The union says the Reverend knows what it takes to support the revival of the city of Detroit and he stood with union members; including walking the picket line with UAW Local 900 members and feeding strikers and their families during their recent strike.
“In this election, Detroit needs a champion who will fight for the working class and build a city that works for everyone — not just the few,” said UAW President Shawn Fain. “Rev. Kinloch has the heart, the vision, and the moral leadership to deliver for working people.”
