2026 PEOPLE Endorsements
AFSCME members keep Wisconsin running. We protect communities, care for people, maintain public services, and show up for our neighbors every day. But for too long, corrupt, anti-worker politicians and corporate billionaires have been driving up costs and getting rich off of our work.
On November 3rd, we have the opportunity to decide whether Wisconsin will keep letting politicians ignore public service workers and serve only their billionaire backers, or whether we will build a state where the people who do the work have the power to shape the future. We will lead that fight by standing together and making our voices heard so that workers’ priorities are front and center when public service workers in Wisconsin regain the freedom to collectively bargain.
AFSCME Council 32 members believe the following candidates will protect our interests and the services our communities rely on and fight to lower costs:
