Local 1445 of the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union endorses Katjana: "Mayor Ballantyne has shown true dedication to protecting union jobs in Somerville and ensuring that working people can afford to stay here. Somerville is in a moment of transition, attracting new investment and new residents to the city that offer exciting prospects for the future. It is vitally important that those new opportunities don’t come at the expense of those who have called this city home for decades. Under Mayor Ballantyne’s leadership, we can trust that maintaining that balance will always be top of mind.”
