AFT-Oregon’s political power is built by members like yourself, at your local workplace union. Each one of these Primary Endorsements was championed by locals across the state who interviewed, questioned, educated, and finally endorsed candidates. 

This year endorsements were given to candidates and uplifted by AFT-Oregon from five locals: HCU, PCCFFAP, PSU-AAUP, UAUO, and GTFF. 

Oregon’s 2026 short legislative session has officially wrapped, and AFT-Oregon is proud to share our 2026 End-of-Session Report.
