Seeking Our Union’s Endorsement for the 2026 Election Cycle?

Our union represents thousands of hardworking people across Kentucky and Southern Indiana. We proudly represent grocery, retail, distillery meatpacking, and food processing workers — essential workers who keep our communities fed, functioning, and strong.

Our members live and work in every corner of Kentucky and throughout Southern Indiana. They are parents, caregivers, veterans, students, and neighbors who are deeply invested in the future of their towns, cities, and rural communities alike.

If you are running for public office — no matter where you are running or how big or small the race — we encourage you to seek our union’s endorsement. Strong, people-centered leadership matters at every level of government, and working people deserve a voice in all offices that shape their lives.

We invite candidates to spend time getting to know the workers we represent. Explore our website to learn more about our members, our priorities, and our organizing work. Follow us on social media (Facebook, Instagram) to hear directly from workers and see their stories shared daily.

Candidates interested in our endorsement should complete the form below. This form collects basic information to help us get started. After reviewing submissions, our union will reach out with next steps, which typically include an in-person or virtual meeting with union leaders and members as part of our endorsement process.

We look forward to learning more about you — and to engaging with candidates who respect working people and are committed to building strong, thriving communities.
