UFCW Local 400 West Virginia Voter Guide

A special message from UFCW Local 400 President Mark Federici

Your vote has never been more important. Elections have consequences — and the one taking place just days from now is the most consequential of our lifetimes.

During this pandemic we have been on the frontlines as essential first responders, putting our health and our families on the line. At a time when economic inequality is at record levels, our living standards are on the line. In an era when assaults on unions have never been more vicious, our right to a voice in the workplace is on the line.

I cannot say this strongly enough: Our vote is our power. Either we use it or we lose it.

If you’ve already cast your ballot through early voting or by mail, thank you. If not, please make a plan to vote now and carry it out.

Whatever method you use to cast your ballot, I hope you’ll give serious consideration to voting for the Local 400 recommended candidates and issues listed on the opposite side of this letter. On the basis of their past records and their campaign agendas, I can testify that each of these candidates will fight for your well-being and that of all working families on all the issues that affect your life, your livelihood and your family’s future. We have also looked closely at the ballot questions and have made recommendations that will increase the power of working people and make Maryland a more level playing field.

Your vote is your power.  Please exercise your right to vote and change our nation for the better. Thank you.

In Solidarity,

Mark P. Federici
President and International
Vice President
