2024 Presidential Election Year
While there is a lot of media coverage of the U.S. Presidential race, there are still a number of important races here in New York that directly affect our union and our families. These races include those for State Senate, Assembly and U.S. Congressional races.
Through CSEA’s member-driven endorsement process, our union’s region Political Action Committees (PACs) and the State PAC have worked hard this summer interviewing candidates running for these offices to determine who will best fight for members.
While our union does not endorse by party, the list on this page, sorted by region, is a diverse mix of candidates that reflect our union’s membership and were determined to be the best candidates to fight for CSEA members. In some cases, CSEA determined the best opinion was a no endorsement and to stay out of that particular race.
CSEA is always looking for volunteers to help with our campaign efforts. For information on how you can help, please contact your region’s political action coordinator.
The Impact of Project 2025
The Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 is the policy playbook for a second Trump administration. This sprawling 800+ page proposal would fundamentally alter the way the federal government functions, including several proposals that would harm workers and damage the labor movement. Check out the fliers below, which highlight the most concerning of these proposals for CSEA members. You can read the full proposal here.
Labor Votes! Get involved!
For interested CSEA members, the AFL-CIO provides an easy way for members in New York to get active in the Presidential campaign in important swing states.
