UAW regional group endorses Obama, includes Iowa

United Auto Workers (UAW) Region 4 endorsed Barack Obama today pledging to promote the senator among its 64,000 active members and 122,000 retirees.

UAW Region 4 includes 30,000 members and retirees residing in the early state of Iowa. It also covers the states of Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota.

"There are many talented Democrats in the presidential field this year, but Barack Obama is the leader who will bring the kind of change to Washington that America's working men and women can believe in," said UAW Local 442 President Paul Erickson of Webster City, Iowa. "For the last two decades, working families have been able to count on Barack Obama to stand up for us and our values. We are supporting him, because we know he'll do the same thing in the White House."
