The ASEA/AFSCME Local 52 Political Action Committee recommends the following list of candidates for the upcoming General Election to be held Tuesday, Nov. 7.
Recommendations are based on questionnaires returned by the candidate and legislative voting records. A PAC endorsement for public office is based on the candidate’s support for public employee issues, not party affiliation. The following recommendations reflect political positions that the PAC believes are in the best interest of public employees.
