ENDORSEMENTS

Candidates for elected office fill out a questionnaire and are interviewed by members. Our Executive Board (made up of elected member-leaders) votes to make endorsements. Below are candidates we’ve endorsed because they’ve committed to help pass legislation to win for working families.
