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 candidate endorsements come from a member-led process, with educational support and recommendations from California’s labor community. UFCW 324 members meet with candidates and decide who has demonstrated a 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 here will create and uphold opportunities to support working people and their families.
