The AFSCME VOTE PAC works to ensure that the individuals we elect to public office are committed to advancing the interests of public employees. The decisions made by these officials can profoundly impact the wages, benefits, working conditions, safety, and job security of those employed in the public sector.
Through our local VOTE PAC, we help elect candidates who stand for what matters to AFSCME members:
Politics is part of AFSCME's DNA. Federal election law and some state laws prohibit using dues for campaign contributions and other political activities. AFSCME VOTE PAC enables our union to be strong politically and help enact legislative programs that protect our jobs.
Through our VOTE PAC, thousands of AFSCME members help get out the vote for candidates who support working families and public services. We make phone calls, knock on doors, and do whatever it takes to turn out more voters. Be a part of history and join us.
Eligible VOTE PAC contributors cast their votes electronically to determine which candidates would carry the recommendation of AFSCME Local 1624 to our Austin Central Labor Council. The following candidates were recommended and labor endorsed.
