Teamsters

Labor Union Campaign Endorsements and Scheduling

Description

The Teamsters function as a vital labor union in Sam Seaborn's Orange County congressional campaign. Will names them during a phone call as a canceled event on Sam's schedule, swapped for another breakfast to adjust logistics. Staff reference this shift in Oval Office debates, treating the Teamsters as a key stakeholder whose endorsement or appearance influences campaign timing, political optics, and outreach to labor voters amid Republican tax threats.
