Endorsed Candidates for the 2016 General Election

With Early voting starting for most areas we are getting calls as to who is being endorsed. Below are candidates who are endorsed for the upcoming elections. Keep in mind these are candidates who have been interviewed by several Labor Organizations and their answers and track records with the working class are the reason they are endorsed. Your union's biggest priority is our member's jobs. Ultimately who you vote for is up to you.
