Yes—but they must not campaign “on union time” in other words, while being paid by the union to do other work of the union. Their campaign messaging and activities should focus on their own qualities and accomplishments, not on those of other candidates. A campaign page will soon be set up on the SEIU-West website. Candidates may submit a photo and short (maximum 250 words) biographical statement for posting on this campaign page. The Elections Committee must approve the statement and photo, as well as any campaign materials that the candidates wish to distribute in the Convention Hall.
