Candidate Endorsements

ACSS endorses legislative candidates that are best suited to benefit excluded employees. We do a thorough job of interviewing and surveying candidates to select individuals that will fight for the issues that impact managers, supervisors, classified and exempt state workers. Candidates that we endorse generally support employee's rights, protect pensions, believe in fair and equitable salary ranges for state workers, and are pro-union. ACSS endorses candidates from all political parties. Money that we receive through our Political Action Committee (PAC) goes towards supporting these ACSS endorsed candidates.
