The TWU State Conference endorsement process is driven by the participation of TWU Local representatives from across the state. Candidates are carefully screened and evaluated based on their record, legislative history, public service, and commitment to issues affecting working families. The State Conference’s endorsements are based on a candidate’s qualifications and programs—not their political party.
