CSEA members made all the difference in the recent primary wins across the state.
Major primary victories included George Latimer in the 16th Congressional District, John Mannion in the 22nd Congressional District and Siela Bynoe in New York State Senate District 6. CSEA members spent many weeks, often on evenings and weekends, doing labor walks, making phone calls and holding rallies for our union’s endorsed candidates, which paid off in the primaries.
Support from our union’s staff is also essential to successful campaigns. Our union prints tens of thousands of pieces of campaign literature that is distributed to help inform voting members about why our union supports endorsed candidates.
Also playing a major role are CSEA’s phone bank staff, who support member efforts in each region by making calls on behalf of endorsed candidates and to provide reminders about when and where to vote.
