The Quad City Federation of Labor AFL-CIO is very committed to fostering bipartisan collaboration with candidates running for local office. They have two committees, Working Illinois Neighbors & Working Iowa Neighbors (WIN), who work together and conduct committee meetings to discuss and decide on an interview schedule with candidates running for any local office in the following counties in Iowa: Scott, Muscatine, and Louisa – and the following counties in Illinois: Rock Island, Carroll, Henry, Jo Daviess, Mercer, and Whiteside. These committee members help determine if those running for office would be in the best interest of organized labor and best represent and fight for working families. Candidates are sent a questionnaire to be filled out and returned prior to the deadline date given. They are then scheduled for an interview with their respective WIN committee. Candidates who do not fill out a questionnaire cannot be considered for endorsement. Candidates running for State or Federal offices, please reach out to your State Federation of Labor for your questionnaires. Links here ——->
