Frank Mathews, Administrative Director for District 4 of the Communications Workers of America (CWA), joined the America’s Work Force Union Podcast to discuss which Presidential candidate and which Ohio Senate candidate will better support working Americans. 

Mathews spoke with host Ed “Flash” Ferenc about the Presidential race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. He provided his thoughts on why Harris is the better choice for union members.

The discussion then turned to Ohio’s U.S. Senate race between Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) and challenger Bernie Moreno. Mathews gave multiple examples of how Brown has fought for working families.

Lastly, Mathews explained what Issue 1 in Ohio is and what is at stake with this initiative to change Ohio’s Constitution.
