UAW members have hit a Midterm Milestone: 125,000 doors across the country! With 2 weeks until Election Day, UAW members will continue knocking doors in states like Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maine, Iowa, California, and more. By reaching out to union voters and their families in places where elections are decided by thin margins, UAW members can cut through the noise to talk to voters about the issues that matter most this midterm.

It's why the Congresswoman continues to stand up against powerful interests and fight for working people across Ohio. The UAW is standing with our longtime ally Marcy Kaptur on November 3!
