Election Center 2020

On Tuesday, November 3, 2020 voters in New Jersey will go to the polls to elect the President of the United States, US Senators, Congress, State Legislators and local candidates.

This has been an exceptional year, as HPAE members have faced unprecedented health and safety concerns while battling COVID-19 in their healthcare facilities. HPAE has endorsed candidates who have been on the side of health care workers and patients and have a proven commitment to protecting the interests of patients and workers over the financial interests of large healthcare corporations. It is up to each of us to participate in the very important 2020 general election when registered voters will elect our next President, US Senate and Congress, state and local elections.

Debbie White RN, President of HPAE

Among the issues and votes HPAE members examined were support or opposition of:

Ensuring the rights of workers to collectively bargain over safety and economic conditions;
Protecting public employee benefits and pension; and
Expanding healthcare coverage and access to providers to ensure everyone has access to services that will lead to improvements in health outcomes.

Throughout this election season we hope you will visit Election Center 2020, where you can learn more about:

Candidates: After careful consideration, HPAE has a list of candidates they recommend voters should elect to office on November 3rd.
Labor Volunteers: Due to Covid-19 our GOTV program has not yet been determined. Watch for updates and opportunities to sign-up to support our 2020 candidates to urge union members to support pro-labor endorsed candidates
