Leadership That Puts Workers First
Project 2025 is the 920-page document by Donald Trump and his allies that spells out what they plan to do during a Trump second term. The AFL-CIO is deeply concerned about pro-corporate policies that would drive up costs, put people out of work, endanger people’s lives and make it harder for working people to get ahead. For unions, this agenda would make it tougher for members to win gains in our next contracts and stack the deck in favor of CEOs.
For Special Elections, please confirm the polling place hours and location with the county auditor as the locations may have been consolidated or vote centers may be used.
