There is no doubt that public policy made by elected officials has an impact on our wages and benefits, our schools and housing and practically every aspect of our lives. That’s why 1199SEIU members play a major role by voting and electing candidates who are committed to standing up for the issues that matter to working people, on the job, at home and in our communities. Time and again, 1199SEIU members have pooled our energy and resources, and together we have elected forward-thinking and exemplary candidates to federal, state and local office. Once again, it’s up to each and every one of us to vote, to ensure that the voices of working people are heard throughout the halls of government.
