Endorsements
Andrea Waner, Former 2nd Ward Columbia City Councilperson, Mayor Pro Tem
“It was the highest honor to serve the Second Ward.
When I knocked doors during my run, neighbors told me they wanted someone smart, steady, and serious about the work — someone who listened and led with heart.
That’s Vera. She is kind and just, educated and curious, levelheaded and genuine. Her vision for our community is one we can all get behind.
I wholeheartedly endorse Vera for Second Ward City Council and can’t wait to watch her lead.”

“We’re proud to make our first-ever endorsement for Columbia City Council: Vera Elwood for Ward 2!
Vera is a working-class champion who shows up for our community and we’re committed to showing up for her.”
LiUNA Local 955
“Laborers’ Local 955 is proud to endorse Vera for CoMo City Council Ward 2!
Our members listened to the candidates, asked questions, and voted to endorse the person who truly values working people.
Vera understands that strong unions mean strong city services, and that the city should work with its unions, not around them. That’s leadership we can count on.”
