Member Candidate Program

"Two SEIU Local 284 members, Valerie Rolstad and Rich Bloodgood, graduated from the first class of the SEIU Member Candidate Program. They graduated after participating with 17 other SEIU members from across the country in three intense filled days of training. SEIU International staff partnered with Wellstone Action and Progressive majority to provide the training to SEIU members who are currently running or are planning to run for State or Local office. Valerie plans a future run for state legislature and Rich will be running this year for Coon Rapids City Council.

If you are interested in running for future office and would like to participate in future Member Candidate Program trainings please contact your Contract Organizer or the SEIU Local 284 Political Director."

Don’t we all deserve a chance at the American Dream?

To the President and Congress:

The Employee Free Choice Act would create a fair playing field that allows all workers the freedom to form unions so we can create good jobs, win health care for all, and provide the services our communities need. Creating good jobs today will make it possible for our kids to achieve the American Dream tomorrow. I urge you to stand with workers and pass the Employee Free Choice Act.
