ALTON — Alton mayoral candidate David Goins welcomed today the endorsement and support of the Alton Teamster Local Union 525.
“I’m thrilled to receive the support of Local 525. Our mutual goal is to provide Alton families with safe neighborhoods and job security, aimed at rebuilding the Alton Community. We share the belief that retaining and attracting new families must be a priority. Alton’s population has declined to approximately 26,500 residents and if it drops below 25,000, the city will lose its home rule status,” said Goins.
