SEIU 721 members interviewed candidates seeking our support and endorsement for the November general election. Several candidates got a closer look at public service as a part of our Walk a Day in Our Shoes program. Members questioned candidates about their stance on contracting out jobs, supporting increased revenues to protect services, protecting our retirement and much more. Endorsement is based on issues, not political affiliation, and reflect SEIU members’ and the executive board’s assessment of how candidates will support working families and public services.
Election Day choices are yours alone to make, but please use the following recommendations to assist you in making an informed decision.
