Election Results 2009

Congratulations SEIU Local 925 Members

I-1033 DEFEATEDThe message is clear: Washington voters value our public services and legislators need to STOP THE CUTS! Every dollar and volunteer hour SEIU members invested in this campaign was an investment in the future of quality public services in our state. It's clear our legislators need to invest in public education and adequately fund early learning programs, schools, universities, cities and counties… 

Dow Constantine King County Executive When he made his thank you speech on Election Night, we were top of the list for groups he thanked. Our hard work, and our hosting of the phone banks, brought a win for King County.

R-71 Protecting Member RightsIt was scary to submit rights of gay, lesbian and senior domestic partnerships to a public vote. But Dan Savage argued all along that our community would be better off letting this go to ballot, and win, and prove once and for all that our community DOES support equal rights. And we have become the first state in the nation to pass a statewide, pro-gay rights ballot initiative.


McGinn Seattle MayorDespite the uphill battle, SEIU Local 925 members chose to endorse McGinn based on his social justice values and his commitment to grassroots organizing. SEIU Local 925 was one of three labor unions to endorse Mike McGinn for Seattle Mayor.
