The SEIU Local 503 CAPE Council consists of locally elected member representatives that drive SEIU Local 503’s voice in politics. The members of our CAPE Council provide a voice for working Oregonians by recommending candidate endorsements and then working to get our endorsed candidates elected by phone banking, canvassing, donating resources, and getting the word out to other SEIU 503 members. After interviewing candidates and compiling responses to questionnaires about their positions on the issues, the CAPE Council has endorsed the following candidates in the November 2016 general election:
