Members of our union worked hard to help elect CSEA-endorsed candidates in congressional, state legislative, and local government races.
CSEA members volunteered many hours, including on evenings and weekends, on campaign efforts that included phone banks and knocking on doors. Members of our union also showed their support for endorsed candidates on social media by sharing posts and discussing candidates’ strong support of working people.
“Building these relationships, regardless of party, is important because it gives us a seat at the table as important decisions are being made that directly impact the jobs and lives of CSEA members,” said CSEA President Mary E. Sullivan. “Thank you to all members who volunteered to help our endorsed candidates. Your efforts made a difference and are appreciated by those elected officials.”
Here are photos of some CSEA members’ efforts to get out the vote.
