On Thursday Senator Roger Marshall was proud to be endorsed by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and the Topeka-based Teamsters Local 696 chapter.
Senator Marshall has been a champion of pro-labor bills, including his own Railway Safety Act, the Faster Labor Contracts Act, and the Warehouse Worker Protection Act. He also led the Overtime Wages Relief Act, which eliminated federal income tax on up to $10,000 of overtime wages for individuals.
“Having worked alongside the Teamsters on a number of projects to protect American workers, it’s an honor to receive this endorsement. The U.S. labor force is the best in the world, and I’ll never stop fighting to protect union families, fair contracts, and American jobs that make and build American products,” said Senator Marshall.
“Sen. Marshall has proven time and time again that he is a friend of labor,” said Teamsters General President Sean O’Brien. “As a member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, Sen. Marshall has been eager to partner with us on legislation that protects workers, even when it requires breaking rank with his own party. We look forward to continuing to work together with Sen. Marshall to fight for the rights of hardworking Americans.”
“We are proud to endorse the candidate in this race who continues to be a voice for the middle-class workers of our great state, and that candidate is Sen. Marshall,” Teamsters Local 696 President Mike Scribner said. “Kansas Teamsters need someone in Washington who is willing to fight on their behalf. Throughout his tenure, Sen. Marshall has shown that he is the person for the job.”
