ENDORSEMENTS
We believe, respect and celebrate the absolute right of every union member to vote for the candidate that he or she feels best represents and embraces that individual's views and political philosophy. The delegate body of the North Shore AFL-CIO votes to endorse candidates and ballot measures based on how they will impact not only our unions but all working people. We carefully consider what each candidate and ballot measure will do to make stronger communities, including schools, healthcare, the right to form a union, trade policies, and much more.
