WORKER/VOTER WHAT’S AT STAKE
Elected officials must be held accountable to working families and our issues. In 2007, all 120 seats in the New Jersey Legislature are up for election. In 2008, the U.S. President, one U.S. Senator and our 13 members of the U.S. House of Representatives will be elected by New Jersey’s voters. During both years, union members will also be candidates for municipal and county government offices.
Voters determine election winners. New Jersey union members and their families must register to vote to make our voices heard in these elections.
