In 2025, UFCW 3000 interviewed candidates for elected office who reached out to us for an endorsement.

Here is a quick outline of the process we use to evaluate a candidate:

  1. Every candidate must fill out a questionnaire to be considered for endorsement.

  2. After submitting their questionnaire, every challenger must sit for a in-person interview with our Political Action Advisory Committee (PAAC). We evaluate incumbents based on their voting record on UFCW 3000 priorities as well as their questionnaire responses.

  3. Our PAAC then makes endorsement recommendations and we share this information publicly. 

  4. Finally, and most importantly, we work to get these candidates elected—regardless of which party they come from.

"As a union, we are deeply committed to making sure that our members' voices are heard in the political process. Our member Political Action Advisory Committee spends countless hours researching candidates and understanding their track records on issues that matter most to working families like ours. We don’t make endorsements lightly—we focus on candidates who will fight for fair wages, healthcare, and strong worker protections. We encourage you to take a look at the candidates we've endorsed and consider how they align with your values as you vote by November 5." —Yasmin Ashur, Albertson’s, Port Orchard

If you have any questions about our process, or you'd like to become more involved in helping evaluate candidates, please reach out to the political department: politics@ufcw3000.org.
