Candidate for President
Nancy Padilla
Re-elect NANCY PAPILLA, President OPEU SEIU
Local 503
I want to keep working for you as your OPEU President to
build power for working people and to WIN FOR
WORKING PEOPLE! I ask you to remember that we are
stronger together—at the bargaining table and the ballot box,
I believe passionately that, together, we must and we can:
• Elect legislators who respect workers and fund fair state
budgets. The Legislature can vote to take away what we negotiate at the bargaining
table. That is why we must elect a pro-working family legislature.
• Defend rights of working people, no matter who they are. Never think that a
“different” group of workers being targeted is not our struggle—because it could be
us next.
• Organize unorganized workers to build power for working families. More Union
households in Oregon mean we can hand a bigger, solid defeat to Sizemore and
send him packing.
• Inspire our leaders, mentor new leaders, increase our activist base, build opportu
nities for member activists to join organizing programs and make our steward
structure stronger so we keep our contracts and our Union strong.
• Build success with other labor, community, and faith-based groups to defeat anti
worker initiatives and pass pro-working family measures. We build success with
our fellow members and citizens by reaching out to talk about why it’s important to
register to vote and be politically active.
