Jun. 1 The newly elected president of California state government s largest public employee union is trying to block a potential $1 million contribution from his union to Gov. Gavin Newsom s campaign.
Richard Louis Brown, president-elect of SEIU Local 1000, doesn t yet have power to hold up the union s support for Newsom. Brown isn t scheduled to take office until the end of June. The union announced his victory one week ago, unseating longtime Local 1000 President Yvonne Walker.
During his campaign, Brown said he wanted to run Gavin Newsom out of office because of the pay cuts Newsom and the Legislature demanded from state workers last year when the state braced for a severe recession in the coronavirus pandemic.
