Political Engagement at Oregon AFSCME

We as union members need to co-govern with our elected officials.

Outside of the bargaining table, we are major stakeholders in Oregon legislative policy. Policies made at the local, state, and national level directly impact our working conditions, wages, benefits, and our rights as employees. Therefore, it’s essential that we elect pro-worker candidates, and hold them accountable once they’re in office.

The Oregon Primary Election is May 21!

Find out how you can get involved to make sure that we elect pro-labor candidates to our state and local offices!
