WEST SACRAMENTO, CA — Retired firefighter, local small business owner, and community leader Dave Jans has officially earned the endorsement of Construction & General Laborers Local 185 in his campaign for West Sacramento City Council.

The endorsement reflects Jans’ deep rooted connection to West Sacramento, his track record of active community involvement, and his strong support for working families and local infrastructure investment. Having called West Sacramento home for nearly 25 years, Jans brings decades of hands on civic engagement and practical leadership to the race.

“Dave Jans is a proven leader who genuinely cares about the future of West Sacramento and the working people who build and maintain our community,”said Doyle S.

His extensive history of local volunteerism and civic service speaks for itself. We know Dave will be a common sense voice on the City Council who fights for good jobs, safe neighborhoods, and responsible growth.”

For Jans, building a stronger West Sacramento means supporting the men and women who keep the city running, from public safety personnel to skilled labor. His platform highlights infrastructure repair, smart economic development, and maintaining a high quality of life for all residents.

“Earning the backing of Laborers Local 185 is a huge honor,” said Dave Jans. “The working men and women of Local 185 build the foundation of our region every single day. Having spent my career as a firefighter and my life as a local volunteer and business owner, I know that great communities are built through teamwork, dedicated service, and strong investments in our people and infrastructure. On the City Council, I look forward to partnering with labor and local residents to move West Sacramento forward.”

The endorsement from Laborers Local 185 adds significant momentum to Jans’ campaign, expanding a broad coalition of labor, public safety, and neighborhood leaders.
