CSEA announces endorsements
While there is a lot of media coverage of the U.S. Presidential race, there are still
many important elections here in New York that directly affect our union and our families, including U.S. Congressional, State Senate and State Assembly races.

have worked hard this summer interviewing candidates running for these offices to determine who will best fight for members.
