CWAers Help Deliver Electoral Victories

In Wisconsin, Judge Janet Protasiewicz​, a staunch advocate for working families and a CWA-endorsed candidate for the open State Supreme Court seat, won her election on Tuesday. CWA members, along with a coalition of other pro-labor and pro-democracy activists, significantly contributed to this victory by mobilizing to build support throughout the campaign. Between the primary and general elections, over 50 CWA activists volunteered to participate in phone banks and reached out to hundreds of voters to communicate our endorsed candidate’s message and the impact of the election on working families.

In Chicago, CWA and other union members mobilized to build support for CWA-endorsed mayoral candidate Brandon Johnson, who won the city's runoff election on Tuesday. Johnson is an experienced union organizer, teacher, and county commissioner with a proven track record of supporting workers and communities over corporations. He supports making the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share in taxes and is committed to fighting for good jobs, fully funded public schools, affordable housing, public transit, and more.
