Los Angeles County Voter Guide
When working people vote, they can create positive change in their lives and workplaces.
Los Angeles Endorsements
UFCW 324’s electoral endorsements are determined through a member-led process with educational assistance and recommendations from California’s labor community. Members meet with candidates and determine who has demonstrated their commitment to workers’ futures, including higher wages, good quality jobs and health care, and the ability to stand up for themselves on the job.
The choices voters select at the local, state, and federal levels this year will have long-lasting effects on working people. UFCW 324 members believe the candidates listed below will create and uphold opportunities to support working people and their families.
