Even as we wait for all the votes to be counted to determine the final results in the closest elections around our state, one fact is certain:
In this election, LABOR MADE THE DIFFERENCE.
So far, 8 of our Endorsed Congressional Candidates and 31 of our own Labor Candidates have won their elections. See the list below.
We are incredibly proud of every union member who knocked on doors, made phone calls, sent text messages, and got their family, friends, and coworkers to vote in these critical elections.
Thank you to our Central Labor Councils and affiliates. Due to your leadership in the Labor 2022 campaign, we continued our legacy of organizing an unrivaled union voter contact campaign that remains the envy of the country year-after-year.
Our labor movement was relentless in its drive to make sure that our union sisters and brothers running for offices throughout the state and our endorsed congressional candidates got the most votes. And together, we made the difference and won!
