SEIU members across the state have conducted a transparent, democratic process, interviewing dozens of candidates for statewide offices.
SEIU 721 members have been a part of that process, and have also endorsed candidates for local offices who support working families and the communities we serve.
Now it’s important that we speak with one voice in November, and stand up for our brothers and sisters in labor.
Please use this SEIU Local 721 Voter Guide to mark your ballot, and vote the whole ballot. Please share it with your family and friends. Mail in your ballot, or vote on Tuesday, November 6th, like our futures depend on it.
