Endorsed Candidates
ESSENTIAL ISSUES
Putting working families first
All the progress we have made in recent years could quickly be overturned by the top 1%. More than ever before, we need to UNITE so we can withstand the current administration’s divide and conquer tactics. It’s time to protect the working class.
Uninterrupted access to benefits and retirement securities
We need to ensure that the benefits we have worked so hard to receive are not undercut by figureheads in the Senate. Our future and our families’ well being depends on it.
Workplace safety and best practices
Vote for candidates who care about our protection on the job site and invest in our training and development.
When we elect leaders who fight for working people, we win big, so it’s critical that our members are registering to vote and sending mail-in ballots
- Step 1 - Check voter registration!
- Step 2 - If you're not registered, register to vote!
- Step 3 - Pledge to vote!
- Step 4 - Check state's deadlines to vote absentee & see when ballots are mailed
- Step 5 - Want to vote from home? Request a ballot to vote early and absentee!
- Step 6 - Want to vote in-person on election day? Find your polling location!
- Step 7 - Head to your polling location on Election Day to vote in-person!
