Freedom & Opportunity for All
AFSCME members fight every day to make our communities stronger. The AFSCME Agenda reflects the values of people who have committed our lives to public service.
In 2020, AFSCME members are committed to electing leaders who support the work we do and the values we share.
Read the AFSCME Agenda to learn more about the priorities of your sisters and brothers in public service for 2020.
AFSCME conducted a thorough, inclusive and transparent endorsement process, driven by rank-and file members. It began last May when questionnaires were sent to all declared Democratic and Republican candidates and continued as we had the chance to hear from and question 19 presidential candidates at our Public Service Forum in Las Vegas. There were similar events around the Iowa and Nevada caucuses, as well as a series of membership polls, a membership survey and other outreach that allowed members to learn more about the candidates’ platforms and make their voices heard.
The candidates have engaged with us, learning about our work in public service. They embraced our values and our AFSCME agenda, and each of them had support among AFSCME members. Throughout the campaign, the priorities of AFSCME and the labor movement have been front-and-center, in a way we have not seen in national politics for years.
Citing his decades of leadership as a fighter for working people and union rights, AFSCME’s International Executive Board voted on March 23 to unanimously endorse former Vice President Joe Biden for president.

“As soon as people started talking about the possibility of a second ballot . . . I knew it was going to take organization and talking with people and communicating with them and bringing them into the process,” said AFSCME President Lee Saunders. “Our union will have a lot of sway.”

AFSCME se asegurará que los candidatos están comprometidos con la inversión en los servicios públicos y con la protección y expansión de los derechos de la gente obrera a negociar juntos para lograr un futuro más fuerte. Encuestaremos a nuestros miembros múltiples veces para evaluar su apoyo.
