Labor has no quitters as this all-important political year begins. We are double checking our registrations. Seniors and other eligible voters are making their annual application to vote by mail. We are volunteering to help screen candidates who want labor's recommendation.
The easy way to get one's personal situation clear is by using http://register2vote.org. More about working with labor is on our web page. Retiree voter info is at https://texas.retiredamericans.org/2021/12/29/our-vote-is-our-voice/ .
Candidate endorsements are open until January 12. Any candidate seeking Dallas labor’s support should fill in this quick form. For all questions or to volunteer, contact Political Director Mariah Warwick at political.dallasaflcio@gmail.com.
