Endorsements

The Greater Boston Labor Council endorses candidates that share our values and will work towards passing and upholding pro-union and progressive policies in their elected positions. 

• Candidates seeking municipal or county office in any of the GBLC's cities and towns (listed at the bottom of this website page) are eligible to request the labor council's endorsement. 
• The Massachusetts State AFL-CIO endorses in Massachusetts state legislature races, statewide constitutional offices, U.S. House, and Senate races and statewide ballot issues.

2025 Endorsements

More information will be available soon about our 2025 municipal endorsement process and timeline. If you are a candidate and labor champion seeking municipal or county office in any of the GBLC's cities and towns (listed at the bottom of this page) and would like to be considered for the labor council's endorsement, email Rachael Running, GBLC staff (rrunning@gblc.us) and Darlene Lombos, President (dlombos@gblc.us) to request endorsement and begin the process.

Candidates must complete a questionnaire and interview and appear before our delegates body. To qualify for endorsement, candidates will receive the recommendation of the GBLC C.O.P.E. (Committee on Political Education) and a 2/3 ratification vote at the General Delegate's Body.
