Tuesday is Election Day. It’s time to get out the vote!
The November 3rd General Election is on Tuesday, and there’s a lot riding on this election for SEIU members. Historic federal spending cuts to pay for tax breaks for billionaires could mean massive budget reductions for our state and local governments. We need to make sure working families are centered in these difficult decisions, and that means electing people who share our values and will fight for us – starting with re-electing Governor Tina Kotek!
To make sure your vote is counted, we recommend you place your ballot in an official ballot drop box. You can find your closest ballot drop box here. Before you vote, you can view your union’s endorsements here. Our endorsements are member-led through a transparent process in partnership with sister local SEIU 49 that includes the CAPE Council and both Boards of Directors.
There’s still time to get involved and help make a difference in close races! You can sign up for a GOTV canvassing or phonebank shift here.
