About SEIU's Politics Programs
From deploying member political organizers to producing ads that highlight the difference between candidates on issues of concern to lower income and middle class voters, SEIU is a driving force in victories for working families all over the country.
For SEIU members, this election has always been about putting the American Dream back within the reach of middle class and low-income people who work hard and want to provide our kids and our grandkids with a better future.
