Pro-Business, Pro-Worker: Major Labor Union Backs Republican Albert Mack

Source: Nevada News & Views

Endorsements in local races usually fall along predictable lines. That’s why this one stands out.

Laborers Union Local 872 has endorsed Albert Mack for Clark County Commission, District F, giving Mack a significant boost from a pro-labor organization that has a long history of bipartisan support.

The Executive Board and members of Laborers Union Local 872 announced their support this week, pointing to Mack’s focus on pro-business reforms, economic growth, and transparent leadership.

“Albert Mack has demonstrated a commitment to advancing pro-business reforms that will also benefit Nevada’s skilled workers as we continue to grow Clark County’s communities,” the union said in its endorsement statement.

The group also cited confidence that Mack would prioritize good governance and accountability on the County Commission.

That matters in a county government that controls billions in taxpayer dollars and oversees everything from zoning and development to public safety and infrastructure.

Local 872 is not known for rubber-stamping candidates based on party label alone.

Over the years, it has supported candidates from both sides when it believes they will deliver real results for working families and the broader economy.

For conservative voters, this endorsement checks several important boxes.

Clark County has grown fast, and not always smart.

Poor planning, rising costs, and slow government processes have made it harder to build homes, expand businesses, and keep jobs in Southern Nevada.

A commission focused on transparency and fiscal discipline can help rein in waste and keep growth under control.

That’s especially important for families already struggling with higher housing costs, taxes, and fees.

Mack’s message lines up with those concerns. He has consistently talked about smart growth, accountability, and making sure county government works for the people who pay the bills.

In simple terms, when government gets out of the way and plays by clear rules, workers keep their jobs and businesses keep investing.

Mack’s Response and Record

Albert Mack, a fourth-generation Nevadan, said he was honored to receive the union’s support and emphasized the need for cooperation between labor, business, and local government.

“Nevada’s skilled laborers are essential to building strong communities and a thriving local economy,” Mack said. “I look forward to working to ensure Clark County remains a place where workers, families, and businesses can succeed through smart growth, accountability, and transparent governance.”

That kind of cooperation has become harder to find in today’s political climate, where ideology often matters more than outcomes.

But at the local level, potholes still need fixing, roads still need building, and public safety still needs funding.

A Growing Coalition of Support

The Laborers Union endorsement adds to an already notable list of supporters for Mack.

He has also earned endorsements from Kevin McMahill, Clark County Sheriff, and Steve Grammas, a Metro detective and president of the Las Vegas Police Protective Association.

That combination matters.

Support from both law enforcement and skilled labor signals confidence in Mack’s approach to public safety, economic stability, and responsible governance.

Critics may argue that labor endorsements don’t belong in conservative politics. But that misses the point.

This isn’t about national party labels. It’s about whether county leadership makes life easier or harder for the people who live and work here.

District F covers a large and diverse part of Clark County, including fast-growing communities that need steady leadership, not political experiments.

When a bipartisan labor organization, law enforcement leaders, and conservative voters all see the same candidate as a safe and responsible choice, that’s worth noticing.

At a time when trust in government is low, endorsements like this suggest Mack is being judged on results, not rhetoric. And in Clark County, results are what matter most.
