Endorsement for U.S. President
After a rigorous, months-long member engagement process, SEIU endorsed Hillary Clinton for president. She is a leader who will stand up for working people who are building a movement to secure a better future for our families.
“Hillary Clinton has proven she will fight, deliver and win for working families,” said SEIU International President Mary Kay Henry. “SEIU members and working families across America are part of a growing movement to build a better future for their families, and Hillary Clinton will support and stand with them. This movement for economic, racial, immigrant and social justice is poised to turn out to vote in November with their families and communities and keep pushing elected officials to deliver once in office.”
“We are endorsing Hillary Clinton because she will stand up for working people like me when she’s in the White House, not the rich and powerful,” said Regina Sutton, a home care worker and member of SEIU Local 2015 in California.
“No one should work full-time and struggle to get by,” said Hillary Clinton about a bill in Idaho that would forbid local cities and municipalities from establishing local minimum wages.
She also said that immigrants should have access to health care, and that the Senate should do their job and hold hearings for President Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, Merrick Garland.
These are just a few examples of why we need leaders who fight, deliver and win for working families. SEIU members are turning out in force to win on our agenda in 2016 and, with our support, Hillary has racked up primary win after primary win and continues to build her lead.
