Make sure when you vote that you vote for a Jobs that Count endorsed candidate. These candidates have pledged:
I’ll be there
As an elected member of local government, I take the Jobs that Count pledge to make our towns and cities better places to live and work.
I stand for people. I will put our families and kids first, so they can live a good, full life – with warm dry housing and food on the table.
I stand for good jobs. I will promote people’s voices at work, fair pay, and the fundamental right to be a union member.
I stand for the things that matter. I will ensure the businesses that operate in our community are fair employers, keep our rivers clean, and sustain our natural environment.
I stand for community. We all benefit when we look out for each other.
