Full Endorsement List: 2026 Midterm Election

The SEIU Illinois State Council is proud to announce our official full endorsement list for the 2026 Midterm Election, reaffirming our commitment to support candidates who stand with working families by protecting the right to organize and fighting for economic, racial, and social justice.


From Illinois to Washington, D.C., we are backing candidates committed to ensuring that all workers are treated with dignity and respect on the job and who will fight alongside our members to raise wages and strengthen public services. Together, these leaders represent a new generation of public servants who believe that when working people thrive, our entire state moves forward.
