The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, or AFSCME, the nation’s largest public employee labor union will welcome the field of 19 Democratic presidential candidates on Saturday seeking out the union’s endorsement this election cycle, but that endorsement will not come as easily as it did last election cycle.
Just days after the candidates sparred on stage over healthcare policy and immigration in Detroit, they will now have the opportunity to connect with members of their party’s base organizing machine and propose each of their plans at UNLV. There, veteran political journalist Jon Ralston, editor of the Nevada Independent, and HuffPost Washington Bureau Chief Amanda Terkel will co-moderate the forum.
