When Cindy Ramirez joined the Travis County Elections call center, she quickly learned that guiding voters through Texas’s complex election laws was no easy feat. But rising to the challenge is what Cindy does best.
Now part of the Ballot by Mail team, Cindy—an AFSCME Local 1624 member—goes above and beyond to make voting accessible. Whether she’s translating for Spanish-speaking voters, training seasonal staff, or building tools to improve her team’s work, Cindy brings knowledge, compassion, and calm to every election.
“She’s dedicated, resourceful, and makes everyone around her better,” says her colleague Jacqueline Augenbraun, who nominated her. “Cindy motivates me every day.”
Ramirez says the feeling is mutual: “I wouldn’t be here without Jacqueline’s support. This work is about serving our community—and leaving it better than we found it.”
Being in a union is about more than just individual representation—it’s about standing together, speaking with one voice, and making change happen as a united force.
Stay tuned-- we will need YOUR voice at coordinated AFSCME "Employee Speak-Outs" coming soon. See event calendar below.
