2022 Endorsements

NUHW endorses candidates who support our members' top policy goals: workers' rights, health care for all, mental health parity, and equal rights for all people including undocumented immigrants. Endorsing candidates gives us a voice in the political process and increases our influence with elected officials, who will stand with us to win good contracts and make good laws. Local NUHW members interview candidates, review their answers to our questionnaires, and make endorsements that are ratified by our democratically elected Executive Board, which consists of rank-and-file members from throughout California.
