72,000 people. 700 elected leaders. All working together for better wages and benefits, a voice on the job, and to grow our union.

SEIU 503 is a democratic, member-run union. Every two years, we elect more than 700 leaders to a variety of positions, such as the Board of Directors, sub local officers, and statewide officers. The people in these roles will shape the work of our Union over the next two years as we bargain strong contracts, represent workers, and grow. Running for office and voting in union elections is the best way that you can shape the course of our Union. Your voice matters. Add it to the conversation.

Homecare Sublocal Representative Election 2024 Results

Results from the Homecare election are posted below.

Congratulations to all winners in this year’s elections and many thanks to all candidates who stepped up to help lead our union.

These results do not reflect changes when someone has won multiple positions on the Homecare Council where they can only accept one position, or when a winner has declined to accept a position. Vacancies will be filled according to the process defined in the Sublocal 99 Bylaws, which requires appointment by the Homecare Council after the newly elected Homecare Council is sworn in. General Council Delegate vacancies will be filled by General Council Alternates in the order of votes received.

We know that re-running an election is a serious matter and we appreciate your patience so we could ensure that all members had the opportunity to vote. We are thankful Ryder Elections – which has successfully run paper balloting for our Homecare Unit in the past – stepped in to run this election with such a quick turnaround. We look forward to seeing everything the newly elected leaders accomplish over the next two years.

In unity,

Elections Committee
