UPTE Political Endorsements:
June 2, 2026 Primary Election

As a union representing professionals in world-class healthcare, research, and educational settings, we are committed to pursuing bold, transformative policies that will best serve all Californians. That includes expanding access to and affordability of our medical and behavioral health services, improving labor standards for all workers, removing barriers to entry in higher education, and advocating for the good union jobs needed to keep our communities strong, prosperous, and equitable.

UPTE’s political committee, composed of members like you, has been hard at work researching, analyzing, debating, and interviewing prospective candidates for our union endorsement. It is a responsibility we do not take lightly.

We strongly encourage all members to participate in phone banking, canvassing, and other outreach initiatives. Your involvement is vital in helping us elect candidates who will fight alongside us and create change that benefits all Californians.
