Metro AFL-CIO Endorsements (Updated with Full List)

Our spy network reports that the Metropolitan Washington AFL-CIO decided its County Council endorsements last night. The news has not been formally released yet, but the word is that the labor federation endorsed:

District 1: Roger Berliner
District 2: Craig Rice
District 3: None
District 4: Nancy Navarro
District 5: Valerie Ervin
At-Large: Marc Elrich, Nancy Floreen, George Leventhal, Hans Riemer
Executive: Ike Leggett

And so the streak recorded by Berliner, Elrich and Riemer remains alive.

Update: Here's the formal statement from the fed.

CANDIDATE ENDORSEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS APPROVED AT THE JULY 19, 2010 METRO COUNCIL DELEGATE MEETING

NO POSITION means the MWC AFL-CIO takes no position in a race, leaving locals free to make their own decisions about candidates

NO ENDORSEMENT means the MWC AFL-CIO opposes a candidate’s endorsement and encourages locals to refrain from making any endorsement of that candidate.

NO RECOMMENDATION means the MWC AFL-CIO has nothing to say about a given race.

ENDORSEMENT of a candidate(s) requires a 2/3 majority.

To be considered for endorsement, candidates must have returned a completed questionnaire by the publicized deadline.

The Delegates considered the recommendations of the Executive Board, discussed, amended or accepted the recommendations. These are the results:
