We believe everyone should be able to get quality, affordable healthcare provided by caregivers who are valued and respected.
By working to elect officials who support that vision we can ensure we have allies in the fight for better working conditions, stronger contracts, and access to care, so that all Californians — no matter what we look like, where we live, or what work we do — can lead happy, healthy lives. SEIU-UHW is also committed to supporting candidates who are aligned with our vision for racial justice.
Primary Election Results
Names in Green won their Primary and will go through to the general election in November.
Names in Blue did not face a primary election and will be on the ballot for the general election in November.
SEIU-UHW members made phone calls in support of candidates with names in bold.
Names in Black did not reach the top two in their primary, and will not go through to the general election.
