Kratovil Endorsed by AFL-CIO

On Monday, January 7, the Maryland - District of Columbia AFL-CIO endorsed Frank Kratovil’s candidacy for Maryland’s First Congressional District. The AFL-CIO represents 350,000 working Marylanders.

“For too long the hard working men and women of the First District have been without an effective voice in Congress,” said Fred D. Mason, Jr., the organization’s president. “Frank Kratovil has the energy and experience to advocate for change in Washington and the ability to represent all the citizens in the District.”

“I am honored to receive the AFL-CIO endorsement and support their membership’s tireless efforts to advance the interests of working American families,” Kratovil said. “Fair wages, safe working conditions, secure retirements, affordable health care, and the right to organize without intimidation are cornerstones of Democratic beliefs.”

Frank Kratovil is the twice-elected State’s Attorney for Queen Anne’s County. Kratovil was first elected State’s Attorney for Queen Anne’s County in 2002 by unseating a four-term incumbent. Kratovil, 39, his wife Kimberly and four sons reside in Stevensville on Kent Island.  As President of the Maryland State’s Attorneys’ Association, Kratovil was a successful advocate for tougher sentences for violent and sexual offenders and anti-gang legislation to assist local jurisdictions.

In addition to major labor support, Frank Kratovil’s candidacy for Congress has been endorsed by Governor Martin O’Malley, Lt. Governor Anthony Brown, Attorney General Douglas Gansler, Senate President Thomas V. “Mike” Miller, Comptroller Peter Franchot, former Governors Harry Hughes and Parris Glendening, and former Attorney General Joseph Curran.
