There are a lot of local candidates running for office right now. But which ones share your values? This can be a tough question to answer. But we’ve got more than 900 answers waiting for you right here.
We just launched our new web tool to help WFP supporters find out who earned our endorsement this year, a key question for a growing number of middle- and working-class New Yorkers. Since 1998 we’ve helped raise the minimum wage, saved countless jobs and held politicians accountable to working families. We’ve done this by paying close attention to elected officials and candidates and letting people know what we think.
Find out which candidates we’ve endorsed for 2009, a “local” election year. No one else does a more thorough job of interviewing, researching and choosing the best representatives for our issues.
Hundreds of our members helped interview more than 1,600 candidates for local offices from Montauk to Niagara. We based our decision on the issues, candidates’ track record, and how well we think they can fight and win victories for the working families of New York.
Our new elections tool makes it easy to see which candidates have earned our seal of approval. Using MyWFP is a great way to encourage politicians to take your voice – and vote – seriously.
Visit MyWFP today. There’s a lot at stake in this year’s elections: paid sick days, accountability for our schools, affordable housing, green jobs and more.
