Overview

  • Dougherty secured 70.97% support with a little over 1,600 ballots cast, representing about 37% turnout from roughly 5,700 members.
  • Hollywood Teamsters United won every office, with vice president Joshua Staheli elevated to president to replace retiring Kenny Farnell.
  • Shaun Ryan was elected vice president, communications chief Amy Gorton became recording secretary, and trustees Joe Mora, Philip Quansah and Robert Paulsen were chosen.
  • Elected officers will be sworn in at the January general membership meeting, and Dougherty’s new term runs through 2028.
  • The campaign was contentious, as the Our Union, Our Future slate criticized the 2024 contract and election process, claims Dougherty rejected.
