AFSCME COUNCIL 25 ISSUES PRE-GENERAL ELECTION ENDORSEMENTS

September 6, 2022 

The AFSCME Council 25 Executive Board and Officers have ratified the recommendations of the Area PEOPLE Committees and issued the following endorsements of candidates ahead of the November 2022 election.

“AFSCME endorsed candidates are committed to standing with AFSCME on the issues that matter most to our membership- good paying jobs, secure retirements, affordable healthcare and prescriptions, quality public education, and anti-privatization measures,” said Council 25 President Lawrence A. Roehrig. “Too many politicians in Washington and Lansing, and even all the way to our Local and County governments, see working people as line items in a budget to be scrimped and saved on. However, these candidates are ready to work with us to put Michigan’s working families first.”

Lorna Davison, the AFSCME Council 25 Statewide PEOPLE Committee Chairperson and Victim’s Advocate in the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office with AFSCME Local 1659 shared President Roehrig’s excitement. “These candidates sent in questionnaires and came before committees of AFSCME members across the state to get to know us and understand the issues we fight for every day. They know that AFSCME members have kept our schools, hospitals, and communities running throughout the pandemic, and now we’re excited to help get these folks elected to office so we can fight together for good jobs and strong communities.”

Below is the list of endorsed candidates:
