DELANO, CA — Today, the National Union of Healthcare Workers (NUHW) announced its endorsement of Dr. Jasmeet Bains for Congress in California’s 22nd District. NUHW represents tens of thousands of healthcare workers across California who are fighting for better patient care, safe staffing levels, and fair treatment on the job.

“Healthcare is personal to me — it’s been my life’s work,” said Dr. Jasmeet Bains. “As a doctor, I’ve seen firsthand how broken our system is for patients and for the people who care for them. I am deeply honored to have NUHW’s endorsement, because we share the same commitment: making sure every family can get quality, affordable care and ensuring that healthcare workers are respected and protected. Together, we’ll fight for a healthcare system that actually works for the people of the Central Valley.”

“Dr. Jasmeet Bains has lived the same struggles our members face every day — understaffed hospitals, families priced out of care, communities left behind,” said Sal Rosselli, President Emeritus of NUHW. “She’s not just another politician talking about healthcare, she’s a doctor who has rolled up her sleeves and fought for patients on the frontlines. We need champions in Congress who will take on Big Pharma, stand up to the insurance industry, and deliver for working families. That’s why NUHW is proud to throw our full support behind Dr. Bains — because we know she’ll fight as hard for us in Washington as she does for her patients in the Central Valley.”

Dr. Bains, a physician and daughter of immigrants, is running to represent California’s 22nd Congressional District. She has dedicated her career to serving underserved communities in the Central Valley, addressing the opioid crisis, and fighting for affordable healthcare for all.
