The Northern California District Council released the following statement regarding Hakeem Brown”
After careful deliberation and discussions with the Napa Solano Central Labor Council, the ILWU Northern California District Council has voted to withdraw our endorsement of Hakeem Brown for Mayor of Vallejo.
We believe strongly in providing people a second chance and support their efforts to make amends for harms they may have caused. However, the lack of transparency from Councilmember Brown regarding his alleged past conduct that has recently come to light was a violation of our trust.
