The following candidates have been endorsed by the Minnesota AFL-CIO for the November 6 General Election.

These are candidates we believe will put middle class families first.  They will work to create the jobs we need, ensure that middle class families are treated fairly, and help build a better Minnesota.

These candidates have either demonstrated that commitment in office or committed to do so if elected.

Additionally, the Minnesota AFL-CIO has taken positions on both proposed constitutional amendments before voters.

This list will continue to grow, so come back often.
