Tyler Emmott: My thanks to my nominators. I hope to fulfill the duties of the office sufficiently. I believe very strongly in the importance of the rights of labor, and I see it as a duty and honor to perform the duties of a position like this.

Derek Hill: I would be happy to fill the role of steward and support co-workers should the need arise. I have seven years experience working at the state and in the past have served as a DHS steward. I’m passionate about people being treated fairly and having support through difficult times. I believe the union does bring us better working conditions and benefits. I will do what I can to help us thrive together.

Orion Lumiere: Hello friends! I have enjoyed serving as our sublocal Steward for the last two years and would be proud to do it for another two. I love being a resource for our members and a support for my coworkers. I also love signing up new members, because a union is only as strong as its membership. I get things done, I listen to my members, and I will always speak up for what is just and fair – and for YOU! There is truly great power in a union my friends. Together we rise!
