The United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America (UBC) has endorsed Kamala Harris for President of the United States in the 2024 election. “As Vice President, Kamala Harris played a critical role in the historic legislative achievements of the Biden-Harris Administration,” said Douglas J. McCarron, General President of the UBC. “She led from the front, casting more tie-breaking votes than any Vice President in U.S. history, including efforts to pass the Inflation Reduction Act, and pension security for thousands and thousands of union carpenters and their families.”
