OCEA Voter Guide - 2020 Primary Election next Tuesday!

Dear OCEA member,

Election Day is next week on March 3, 2020. Vote-by-mail ballots are already being returned so we wanted to share a short list of OCEA-endorsed candidates in the upcoming March Primary—candidates who have demonstrated they have stood with working families like yours.

The OCEA Board of Directors has an obligation to evaluate political candidates based on their support for issues that impact you and your family’s economic and job security. That means candidates that support working families, retirement security, public service and oppose outsourcing. You can review the Voter Guide compiled by your co-workers on the OCEA Board here. We understand if you have different factors that contribute to your decision making. This guide is intended to share recommendations based on issues that impact your economic and job security.

Remember, Orange County has replaced its polling places with 200 Vote Centers strategically located throughout the County. Vote-by-mail ballots come with postage so you can complete your ballot and drop it in the U.S. Mail or you can turn it in at a Vote Center or a secure Voter Drop Box. You can find the Vote Center and Drop Box locations and learn more at OCVOTE.com. You can also confirm your voter registration.

If you would like to help these OCEA-endorsed candidates get elected, please sign up to get involved at ocea.org/getinvolved. OCEA’s recommendations are non-partisan. Your Board of Directors bases its recommendations on who stands with you, not party affiliation. By standing together, we can elect candidates who listen to us. It’s that simple. 

In solidarity,

Charles Barfield
OCEA General Manager
