Culinary Union makes endorsements; Bad Boyd!

No surprise, the Culinary Union has endorsed the Joe Biden/Kamala Harris ticket. Now we’ll see what shape the Culinary political machine is in after being depleted by Coronavirus. The union is boasting that it “drove turnout” during the 2020 Nevada primary—and never mind that it got totally skunked by the forces of Bernie Sanders. No U.S. Senate seats are up for grabs for this year but the Culinary is backing an all-incumbent ticket in the House, save for rural District 2, where it’s asking voters to depose Rep. Mark Amodei (R) in favor of Patricia Ackerman. Not gonna happen. Meanwhile, Reps. Dina Titus (D), Susie Lee (D) and Steven Horsford (D) continue to enjoy the Culinary’s fealty. The union is also backing all Silver State ballot questions this year, along with an extensive litany of legislative and judicial candidates. Whether you take the Culinary’s advice is, of course, your decision—but get out and vote. As the late John Lewis said, it’s the most powerful nonviolent weapon in democracy.
