First National Union Endorsement for Sanders.

Nothing his issues “align with nurses from top to bottom,” National Nurses United (NNU), the nation’s largest organization of nurses, endorsed Monday Senator Bernie Sanders for President, at a large meeting in Oakland, CA.

“Bernie Sanders has a proven track record of uncompromised activism and advocacy for working people, and a message that resonates with nurses, and, as we have all seen, tens of thousands of people across the country. He can talk about our issues as well as we can talk about our issues. We are proud to stand with him in his candidacy for President today,” said NNU Executive Director RoseAnn DeMoro.

NNU, which represents some 185,000 nurses from California to Florida, including nurses who live in the early caucus and primary states of Iowa, New Hampshire, and Nevada, becomes the first national union to endorse Sanders.
