Endorsements

How We Make Endorsements

• Union members decide who our union endorses by interviewing and evaluating candidates.
• We don’t tell members who to vote for; instead, we tell members which candidates are better on state employee issues.
• We focus on what unites us: wages, benefits, job security, working conditions, outsourcing, and collective bargaining.                                                       

Upcoming: The Primary Election is August 4th.

General Election Day is tuesday, November 5.
