USW Votes: Info on Indiana Primary Election, Early Voting

In these challenging times, we are reminded of the importance of our union and the importance of having representatives in government who put working people like us first.

Indiana’s Frank Mrvan has been there for our membership in difficult times and he understands our issues. That’s why all of the USW local union presidents in the 1^st Congressional District have endorsed him for Congress.

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Indiana primary election has been moved to Tuesday, June 2, 2020. We need to make sure every eligible voter submits a ballot and gets a chance to vote.
