Rumor has it that Valerie Ervin will have the support of SEIU’s State Council in CD8. There are several locals that comprise the State Council, the three largest being 500, 1199 and 32BJ. Word is that there is enough support within the locals for Valerie to earn the endorsement - if she runs, which appears increasingly likely. This is a very big deal because a State Council endorsement would bring to bear the formidable combined resources of not only the SEIU locals but of the international as well.
