EVENTS COMING SOON | PERKS & DISCOUNTS | GIVE A MEMBER A SHAKA | July 3, 2024

In observance of Independence Day, HGEA offices will be closed on Thursday, July 4.

After a rigorous vetting process, the HGEA board of directors approved the full slate of primary election endorsements. This list is comprised of candidates who share our union’s values. Electing labor-friendly lawmakers means better laws and quality of life for Hawaii’s working families, so please consider voting for these candidates when you cast your ballot.

Ballots will be mailed to you around July 23. Be sure to mail yours back early, and encourage your friends and family to do the same.

Register to Vote

Elections are a time for you to exercise your power to vote. This is your opportunity to choose leaders who will drive the change you want to see in your community.

There’s still time for you to register. The Office of Elections has an easy online form for those who need to register or update their information.

Volunteer This Election Season

Voting isn’t the only way to support our endorsed candidates. Have you spotted HGEA sign wavers throwing you a shaka or canvassing in your neighborhood?

As a political action volunteer, you’ll be making an active contribution to protecting your job, benefits, retirement and ultimately your family’s future. Join us at the next event!
