SEIU Local 1000 ELECTION EndorseMents
SEIU Local 1000’s Endorsement Is About State Workers. Our responsibility is to evaluate how candidates’ stated positions affect our jobs, our contract, our workload, and the public services we provide.
We endorsed Xavier Becerra because his positions are aligned with protecting state worker jobs, respecting union contracts, maintaining public services, and supporting the workforce that keeps California running.
Becerra has a long history of standing up for California’s working people and we’re proud to support his candidacy for Governor of California.
Volunteer to Get Out the Vote
Election Day is Tuesday, November 3. The candidates we endorsed need volunteers this final week to reach voters. Pick a shift below: make calls from home or knock on doors near you.
