Statement Re: 2016 Endorsement Meetings

October 28, 2015

Secretary Hillary Clinton sat down with 1199SEIU Executive Officers to discuss the 2016 election and their plans.

Over the past couple days, executive officers of 1199SEIU met with Senator Bernie Sanders and Secretary Hillary Clinton as part of our regular process as we consider making an endorsement decision. We had robust discussions about the urgent need for good jobs with a living wage, quality healthcare for all, protecting our rights, immigration reform and ensuring a healthy planet. As the largest healthcare union in the nation, our members care deeply about our patients, families and communities. We will be highly active in the presidential and all other campaigns so every candidate hears our voices, and we can make sure our nation truly works for working people.
