SEIU members met in a series of Town Hall meetings and interviewed the candidates in critical Los Angeles City races. We asked them their positions on jobs, budgets, the quality of our children’s education and other issues important to working families. After hearing from the candidates, SEIU members voted to endorse the following in the March 5, 2013 Primary Election:
