Labor
SEIU
In the 2004 Presidential election cycle, SEIU spent $65 million. In 2006 mid term elections, SEIU built on that investment by spending $35 million. SEIU's strategy focused on three key areas: the "ground game," creating momentum in tier two and three districts around issues and ballot initiative campaigns, and strategic paid media.
In 2008, SEIU will continue working with these goals in mind and will contribute more in the 2008 cycle than ever in its history. The union is committed to electing a President, congress and state elected officials who support working men and women and their issues.
Change to Win
In 2006, Change to Win's efforts focused mainly on electing pro-worker gubernatorial and U.S. Senate candidates in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Ohio. In all of the races to which Change to Win devoted significant resources, their candidates won. In addition to Change to Win's efforts, its affiliates spent close to $45 million on the 2006 elections.
In 2008, Change to Win's expanded political program will focus on 15-20 states.
AFL-CIO
A.F.L.-C.I.O. states that it mobilized millions of voters in several states during the 2006 elections, helping shift the balance of power in Congress.
In 2008, the A.F.L.-C.I.O. plans to help elect "a pro-worker president" and help gain three to six "pro-worker seats" in the Senate and add five in the House by focusing on Congressional districts with many union members.
The federation said that it would seek to reach out to voters, through a new affiliate, Working America that would enlist workers not in regular unions. The $53 million political budget for this cycle is up from $50 million in the presidential cycle of 2003-04.
I will run this by John in a few minutes and let you know once he gives his final approval.
Thanks,
Natalie
Their revisions are very minor.
