ASSEMBLY DISTRICT 47, CA — In a significant boost to her campaign for State Assembly, Christy Holstege is proud to announce the endorsement of the National Union of Healthcare Workers (NUHW). The NUHW, known for its representation of frontline healthcare workers nationwide, acknowledges Holstege's dedication to addressing the vital issues impacting healthcare. With this endorsement, Holstege aligns herself with a union that prioritizes the interests of those directly involved in providing essential care to communities.

"As we navigate the complex landscape of healthcare, it's crucial to have the support of those who understand the challenges and triumphs of the industry intimately," said Holstege. "This endorsement is not just a testament to our shared values, but a promise to work tirelessly, hand in hand, advocating for accessible, equitable healthcare that leaves no one behind. In Sacramento, we will work together to create policies that not only uplift healthcare workers but also ensure every resident has access to the healthcare they deserve."

Holstege's promise to work "hand in hand" with NUHW underscores a collaborative approach aimed at developing policies that not only recognize the challenges faced by healthcare workers but also strive to enhance healthcare accessibility for all residents.

This endorsement adds a new layer of support to Christy Holstege's campaign, reinforcing her commitment to creating a healthcare system that is both inclusive and responsive to the needs of communities. As the campaign progresses, Holstege remains focused on engaging with constituents and addressing the critical issues at the forefront of their concerns.

Today’s announcement comes on the heels of endorsements from Governor Gavin Newsom, Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas, and the California Democratic Party. The closely watched seat remains a top pickup priority for California Assembly Democrats after Holstege lost to her GOP opponent by just 85 votes in 2022, in one of the closest races in California legislative history. Incumbent Republican Assemblymember Greg Wallis currently holds one of the most endangered seats in Sacramento. Christy’s campaign continues to out-raise and out-work her Republican opponent, garnering high-profile endorsements and significant local grassroots support.
