Union-Approved Candidates for 2016!
Working people are ready to elect representatives who will fight to raise wages, strengthen union rights and help revive our middle class. Working people in Wisconsin want an economy that works for all of us, not just the wealthy. Wisconsinites want legislators who will prioritize economic opportunity, and a more stable economy with the creation of good, long-term jobs.
Union members from throughout the state are ready to work hard and work together to ensure that working family candidates, and in turn an agenda that puts jobs and workers first, are successful on election day.
Mark your calendars now, Partisan Primaries will be held on Tuesday, August, 9, 2016 and Election Day is Tuesday, November 8, 2016.

Take the Pledge to Defeat Donald Trump
Wisconsin will be Ground Zero to stopping Donald Trump from taking the White House and extremist Republicans from controlling the Senate.
From his racist and sexist comments to his support for dangerous and unnecessary “right to work” laws to his business dealings where he’s profited off of companies that outsource, Trump is simply dangerous, divisive and unfit to be president.
Join us for this year's celebration of organized labor on Milwaukee's lakefront!
Raffle tickets to win a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, cash prizes and MORE available at MALC AFLCIO or at your local union affiliate.
