The 2024 election season will soon be upon us, and as public employees and education workers, we must be sure that our issues are understood by candidates who are running for various offices that are up for election.

Marylanders will have a wide range of important decisions to make at the ballot box in 2024. Not only is the election for US President up in 2024, but Maryland will also get the opportunity to vote for US senator and US Representatives in the House. Residents in Baltimore City will also weigh in on elections for the Mayor, Comptroller, City Council President, and City Council members in all 14 districts.
 
In order to better understand the political priorities of our membership as we head into this election cycle, please take the time to complete this, short, 5-minute political priorities survey. Once completed, the union will begin compiling questions to ask the various candidates for the particular offices, and holding candidate forums to determine who will get the union's endorsement.

You can learn more about the union's endorsement process by visiting the AFT-Maryland Political Web Hub at http://md.aft.org/political-action/political-hub.

Of course, all candidate forums and interviews will be open to dues-paying union members.
