MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Service Employees International Union (SEIU) is joining forces with Wisconsin democratic leaders to encourage voters to make their voices heard this November.
"The bottom line is this, we have to make sure we're electing folks who believe in supporting workers," said Gov. Tony Evers during the "Union For All" rally on Saturday, Sept. 21.
The event was held at Milwaukee Area Technical College and was hosted by SEIU Wisconsin. SEUI members from across Wisconsin and Illinois came to Milwaukee to celebrate their organization's work and to rally votes for Vice President Kamala Harris.
"We need to focus on trying to get elected officials that actually work for the working-class people. Without their support we would just be in a gray zone," said SEUI representative Rocco DeMark.
Along with Gov. Tony Evers and Rep. Gwen Moore, Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley also attended.
"We need every single body in the state of Wisconsin that believes in supporting working families to make sure that we're getting the vote our every single day," said Crowley.
Crowley says everyone must exercise their right to vote this November. "We know that we've been seeing a trend over the last decade of less and less voters coming out and seeing a rise in Dane County but quite frankly, I am in competition with Dane County," he said.
During the rally, officials encouraged supporters to register to vote and make a plan to cast their votes.
