Teamsters Local 251 today announced its endorsement of Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse’s campaign for U.S. Senate. Joseph J. Bairos, secretary-treasurer of Local 251, said in a news release that Whitehouse would be instrumental in the Senate in standing up to what he called the “Bush-Republican anti-worker” agenda. “I’m proud to announce that Sheldon has our full support,” Bairos said. “Every day we are seeing the Bush Administration and the Republican-controlled Senate push for misguided priorities that ignore the needs of working families all across the country,” Bairos said. Teamsters Local 251 has about 5,000 members in Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts. -- Journal staff writer Scott MacKay
