Pelosi urges union to get out the vote to help Democrats in November

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., on Monday addressed the annual United Steelworkers convention in Las Vegas, where 2,500 delegates were expected to attend.

As a congressional Democratic leader, Pelosi is pushing for her party to pick up more seats in the Nov. 4 general election, although Republicans are widely expected to maintain control of the House this year.

Democrats will need to excite their union backers to help get out the vote in a lackluster year when there’s no presidential race or U.S. Senate contest in Nevada to drive voters to the polls.
