Elections 2022

Elected officials make decisions that affect every aspect of our lives. How do we get lower gas prices? What are they teaching in our schools? Can I get health insurance? They even decide where to put stop signs and bike lanes.

For years, union members have volunteered at the polls to help Americans exercise their sacred right to vote. But this year, there’s a critical shortage of election workers. So we’re partnering with Power the Polls, a non-partisan organization dedicated to mobilizing volunteer poll workers. Numerous union members have already volunteered to be poll workers and we'll spotlight a few of them between now and election day.

One of the most important issues for working people in the 2022 midterm elections is retirement security. Candidates across the country are focused on undercutting retirement security, but working people reject these cynical moves and will support candidates who promise to protect Social Security and related programs. Today we are spotlighting a 2022 candidate on retirement security: Blake Masters of Arizona, a candidate for the U.S. Senate.
