Require member polling before union presidential endorsements

On November 19, 2025, Robert F. Onder introduced the Endorsement Transparency Act, which would prohibit labor unions from endorsing a presidential candidate unless they first poll their members. He says the requirement is intended to prevent union leaders from making endorsement decisions unilaterally when those decisions conflict with members’ views.

Context: The release describes an introduced bill; it does not establish that the proposal has become law. Official 2025 in-office proposal; not a 2026 post-election pledge.

In their own words
