Why is SEA PAC important? In New Hampshire, government at all levels – state, county and municipal – greatly affects our jobs. We advance the interests of our members and their families at the state house, in the governor's office, in the workplace and at the bargaining table. Our success depends on electing politicians who will fight for us.
Bargaining good contracts for our members begins with electing candidates we can work with. And winning at the state house, whether it means defeating a privatization effort or funding for our health insurance, only happens when we elect politicians who support us. Join >> What does SEA PAC use the money for? SEA PAC funds are used to inform and educate our members on important political issues. SEA PAC makes contributions to political candidates based on their past voting records and answers to our questionnaires or interviews. Over three hundred of your fellow union members have joined SEA PAC with contributions ranging from $1 to over $5 per pay period. Join >>
"In the world of politics we have no permanent friends, only permanent issues. That’s why we must build a strong, issues-based political program, driven by grassroots action and beholden to no individual or party." Andy Stern
Doesn’t SEA PAC only support Democrats? NO. SEA PAC has a record of supporting candidates regardless of party affiliation, and in fact has contributed thousands of dollars to Republican candidates who have supported our issues. Join >>
