AFSCME New Mexico 2026 General Election Endorsements
As public employees, we are in a unique position to elect the people who make funding decisions about the work we do. We need decision makers who support public services, and the hardworking employees who keep our communities running. That’s why as a union we make candidate endorsements. But AFSCME doesn’t just hand out endorsements – they are earned with a commitment to making life affordable for working people, protecting public services and our freedom to be in a union.
AFSCME endorses candidates who fight for working people. Our AFSCME New Mexico political committee interviews candidates and carefully reviews their positions and records on issues that matter to public service workers and working families.
