California Care Workers Voter Guide | Worker Rights & Elections

Care Workers Are The Backbone…

Care Workers are the backbone of California’s families, providing essential care and support to our most vulnerable loved ones. By voting, we have an opportunity to ensure Care Workers’ voices are heard at the ballot and elect the next wave of leaders committed to fighting for worker benefits and rights!

Care Workers Power California. Now It's Time to Power the Ballot.

Care Workers are the heartbeat of California’s families — dedicated community members who show up every day to support our most vulnerable loved ones. But showing up at work isn’t enough. To win the wages, benefits, and rights we deserve, we need to show up at the polls.

This is our moment. Every vote cast is a demand for change — for leaders who will fight for us, not forget us.

We Vet the Candidates So You Can Vote with Confidence.

We’ve done the work. The UDW Voter Guide evaluates candidates on the issues Care Workers care about most:

Lower cost of living so your paycheck stretches further
Higher wages and better benefits so your work is honored and respected
Affordable housing and healthcare for workers and the communities we serve
Quality education for our children enabling a brighter future
Dignified care for our disabled loved ones to ensure the best quality of life
Secure retirement for our Elders, ensuring they experience stress free Golden Years. They earned it.

These aren't just policy issues — they're our life. Vote like it.

Tom Steyer for California Governor A Champion for Care Workers

Tom Steyer is the best choice for California Governor. Did you know that governors approve budget decisions for all the programs that impact workers and sign or vetoes every law in California? That makes this one of the most critical choices on your ballot. Without a Governor committed to improving access to support and resources, Care Workers will continue to face challenges. Tom Steyer is committed to fighting for Care workers and is ready to stand up to Trump, the MAGA agenda, and every force that would strip away the rights and resources Care Workers depend on. He’s not just an ally — he’s committed. Vote for Tom Steyer, our Care Worker Champion.
