LANSING— Lansing mayor Andy Schor has picked up another endorsement in his quest for re-election.

On Monday, the Plumbers and Pipefitters Local 333 chapter became the latest organization to announce its support for Schor. He has previously been endorsed by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, former Lansing mayor Tony Benavides and local restaurant owner Gregory Eaton.

The organization represents and campaigns for the rights of plumbers, pipefitters and HVAC technicians from Lansing to Jackson to Battle Creek.

“Plumbers and Pipefitters Local 333 is proud to stand with and endorse Mayor Andy Schor for re-election to the city’s top job. As pipefitters, it’s our job to know when something fits in the right place, and we believe Mayor Schor fits the role of Mayor well. It has been great to work with him, and we are excited for another productive four years in Lansing,” said Price Dobernick, the Business Manager for the labor union.

In response, Schor stated that he was”very proud of the endorsement of UA Local 333” and credited the labor union for being “a tremendous asset to our community.”

He will be running against city councilwomen Kathie Dunbar and Patricia Spitzley. Former three-term Lansing mayor Virg Bernero withdrew from the race on Sunday following several sexual harassment accusations during his time as mayor.
