Congratulations on your decision to seek elected office!

 

We appreciate your willingness to engage in the political process and seek solutions to Michigan’s most pressing problems. The Michigan AFL-CIO is a diverse, compassionate and powerful federation of labor unions that improves the lives of working people by fighting to bring economic justice to the workplace and social justice to our state. As Michigan’s largest labor organization, we represent one million active and retired union members from nearly fifty affiliated unions and constituency groups (miaflcio.org/our-organization/).

The Michigan AFL-CIO advocates for public policy solutions at the state and local levels that support working families across Michigan. Our Policy Platform (miaflcio.org/platform) outlines the legislative and budgetary solutions we believe support our working people and empower the labor movement. Our agenda is dedicated to protecting the rights of working people, building quality infrastructure, growing  vibrant communities, creating a fair economy, and promoting voting freedoms to protect our democracy.

We appreciate you taking the time to complete this questionnaire, and thank you in advance for standing with the working families across your district. To be considered for an early endorsement, all candidates for state, federal, and judicial office must complete your questionnaire by March 1st, 2024. In pursuing an endorsement from the Michigan AFL-CIO, it is recommended that you also reach out to and pursue support from our affiliated unions and Central Labor Councils.

2024 Local Government Candidate Questionnaire

Dear Candidate,

Congratulations on your decision to run for local office! We appreciate your efforts to engage in the political process and seek solutions to Michigan’s most pressing problems. 

The following questionnaire is intended to help us understand your experience, values, and candidacy so we, our affiliates, and our Central Labor Councils (CLCs) can use it as a guide for our endorsement processes. Please note that you must also contact your area-specific CLC and complete their portion of the endorsement process to be eligible for their endorsement. The Michigan AFL-CIO does not endorse in local races — Central Labor Councils do.

Michigan’s labor movement has a proud record of endorsing Democrats, Republicans, and non-partisan candidates at the local, state, and federal level. Again, you must contact your CLC as well and finish that portion of the process to be eligible for an endorsement. We make endorsements on a rolling basis, so please return completed questionnaires and reach out to your CLC as soon as possible.

We appreciate you taking the time to complete this questionnaire and to contact your CLC, and thank you in advance for standing with working families.
