AFSCME Recommendations: 2024 Primary Elections
AFSCME PEOPLE has announced recommendations for the 2024 primary elections.
The recommendations are based on the work of the AFSCME International Executive Board, the Illinois PEOPLE Conference, and the work of Area PEOPLE committees comprised of local union members, who arrived at their recommendations after examining voting records, reviewing questionnaires and conducting interviews to determine where the candidates stand on the issues that matter to AFSCME members.
Through that process, these candidates have emerged as people who share the values that are important to union members and will stand up for the rights of workers.
Our votes can make a difference.
Early voting begins in most places on Feb. 8.
Election day is Tuesday, March 19.
AFSCME members need leaders in elected office who will have our backs. You can help elect them by signing up at the link here to be an AFSCME political volunteer.
Note: AFSCME does not typically endorse in uncontested elections.
