DisclaimerBelow is a list of candidates who have been nominated and who have accepted nomination for offices in the 2024 Statewide Officer and Board of Directors election. This list will be updated periodically but the Union cannot guarantee that this list is complete. Candidates have until July 25, 2024, at 5:00pm, to accept a nomination, and those who have not accepted nominations will not appear on this list. Candidates may also accept a nomination and later withdraw. Candidates are only eligible to accept or run for one office. Final verification of membership status and eligibility for office is based off of eligibility on July 22, 2024, and cannot be finalized until after the nomination deadline has passed. The candidate list is not final until it appears on the ballot as approved by the Elections Committee. Candidates are listed in random alphabetical order in accordance with the randomized alphabet created by the Secretary of State office in the last election.
*Persons listed with an asterisk are currently nominated for more than one office, and have not yet selected their one choice. These nominations may change.
