Workers Win at the Ballot Box: More Work Ahead! 

CSUEU members helped deliver major victories this election! All three of our priority ballot measures were successful: YES on Prop 3, NO on Prop 39, and NO on Prop 43! Numerous CSUEU-endorsed candidates across California also won their races, including our next Governor, Xavier Becerra, who will become the first elected Latino to lead the great state of California!

We also want to congratulate Mara Elliott in Senate District 40 (San Diego), who has declared victory. Mara has a direct connection to CSUEU, and we applaud her election and look forward to working with her in Sacramento!

But this isn't the end of our political work. It's just the beginning.

Our work in Sacramento helped us secure a strong tentative agreement, demonstrating that political power translates directly into better wages and working conditions. Next year, we must continue fighting for increased higher education funding, a stronger worker voice on the CSU Board of Trustees, and making it easier for all CSU workers to join our union.

None of these victories would be possible without our members and CSUEU PAC. Our PAC gives us the resources to elect pro-worker candidates, advocate for our priorities, and build the political power we need to win.

Thank you to every member who volunteered, voted, and helped make these victories possible. Now let's build on that momentum!

Invest in our future. Join CSUEU PAC today!

This was a historic election not just for California but for the nation. We are proud to have supported the pro-worker candidates we did and look forward to working with them in the new year. Fighting for CSUEU members is an honor of a lifetime and the fight continues into Sacramento this year, next, and beyond.
