UFCW 3000 members who participated in our Political Action Advisory Committee reviewed candidate records, conducted interviews, and evaluated endorsement questionnaires. Affordability was at the center of those conversations. With groceries, gas, housing, and other essentials stretching household budgets, candidates seeking our endorsement must stand with working people. We expect them to support policies that make life more affordable and oppose policies that make it harder to get by.

Members also asked candidates about banning surveillance pricing, protecting collective bargaining rights even if federal labor protections change, and standing publicly with workers on strike. Their recommendations reflect candidates’ answers and records on these priorities.

These endorsements are a resource to help you make informed decisions about your ballot. We encourage you to consider our recommendations alongside the issues that matter to you. Your vote is your choice.
