The ASEA/AFSCME Local 52 Political Action Committee (PAC) recommends the following list of candidates for the upcoming Primary Election to be held Tuesday, Aug. 20, 2024.

PAC endorsements are determined by questionnaire responses from candidates and incumbents, as well as voting records. An endorsement for public office is based on the candidate’s support for public employee issues, not party affiliation. The following candidates and incumbents have expressed or taken political positions that the PAC believes are in the best interest of public employees.

The ASEA PAC is not a union committee--it is a self-organized and self-funded group of ASEA members and friends with the goal of promoting candidates and issues that support public employees and the services they provide. Voluntary contributions make political action possible. By making a voluntary contribution to the ASEA PAC, every contributor is eligible to serve as a director from their respective election district in discussions and d\ecisions regarding PAC endorsements and positions. ASEA union dues do not fund political action.

The ASEA PAC encourages you to consider participating in political action. If you are not already a contributor to the PAC, please consider joining. Membership in the ASEA PAC makes you eligible to represent your legislative district on the ASEA/AFSCME Local 52 Political Action Committee Board of Directors. For more information, contact the ASEA Juneau Office at 463-4949 or (800) 478-0049 toll free.

Please note that members are reminded to use personal email accounts when communicating with ASEA PAC directors, legislators and candidates for public office, or when sending emails containing messages of a political nature.
