2026 UAW International Officer Election

Candidate Contact Information

Election Rule 8-3 requires members and groups of members who collect or spend money on a Candidate’s behalf to give that Candidate prompt and specific notice, so the contributions and expenditures can be reflected on the campaign’s monthly financial disclosures. To assist with that communication, Rule 8-3 directs that “the Monitor will post contact information for all identified and registered Candidates and Slates of Candidates on its website.” The contact information below is provided for that purpose.

The list includes only Candidates who have cleared the Monitor’s vetting process, received a delegate nomination at the Constitutional Convention, and accepted that nomination. This page is not a ballot, an official candidate roster, or a list of everyone who has submitted a Candidate Declaration Form. If an individual’s name does not appear below, that does not mean they were found ineligible or kept off the ballot. The Monitor does not publicly disclose vettings that are still in progress.

To appear on the 2026 ballot, a Candidate must clear the vetting process, receive a delegate nomination at the Constitutional Convention, and accept that nomination (see Sections 2 and 3 of the Election Rules).  After the Convention and the completion of nominations and vetting, the Monitor will make available a list of the Candidates who will appear on the 2026 Election ballot, subject to any disqualifying activity.
