Election Day is November 8th! Women’s rights and working people’s lives are on the line.
The choices voters make this year will have long-lasting effects on working women and families. We know the pro-worker candidates listed below will provide opportunities for, and support, working people across the country.
Cheri Beasley for U.S. Senate – North Carolina
Cheri Beasley is a mom, former public defender, judge, and the first Black woman to serve as Chief Justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court. She’s spent her life fighting to uphold the law and keep communities safe – and as U.S. Senator, she’ll fight to lower costs, create good-paying jobs and expand access to affordable, quality health care in every part of North Carolina.
The UFCW Women’s Network will be in North Carolina October 1-2. Join us there so we can help elect Cheri Beasley for U.S. Senate!
Nikki Budzinski for U.S. Congress – Illinois
Nikki Budzinski comes from a middle-class family and has dedicated her career to fighting for working families. Nikki worked as a union activist, helped to secure the $15 minimum wage for Illinoisans. In Congress, she will fight to cut taxes on the middle class, reduce costs, and work to make more products here in America to fix the supply chain, lower prices, and create good-paying Illinois jobs.
