NUHW endorses candidates who support our members’ top policy goals: workers’ rights, health care for all, mental health parity, and equal rights for all people.
Dear NUHW Member:
Over the past several months NUHW members across California have interviewed candidates for local, state, and federal races and made endorements that were then ratified by member-elected Executive Board.
We can count on the endorsed candidates listed here to support us — and all working people — in fighting for fair contracts and better working conditions.
We’re excited to help elect our endorsed candidates to further our movement and protect our democracy.
Please be sure to fill out, sign, and return your ballot before November 5.
Sophia Mendoza, President and Vanessa Coe, Secretary-Treasurer
Our endorsement is based on two decades of experience working hand-in-hand with Vice President Harris to improve the lives of California’s working families and reflects her leadership, integrity, and unwavering commitment to defending democracy.

A “yes” vote supports lowering the vote threshold from 66.67% to 55% for local special taxes and bond measures to fund housing projects and public infrastructure. |
