CWA Legislative-Political Team Launches New Bootcamp and Congressional Scorecard

CWA’s Legislative-Political program kicked off the 2026 Political Bootcamp trainings last month, with educational sessions being held in Colorado, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia. Trainees undergo three full days of classes on subjects including fundraising for the Political Action Fund, organizing their coworkers, and deep analysis of legislative sessions and pertinent bills impacting CWAers and other workers. Between class sessions, members put this knowledge to use through hands-on fundraising and legislative and political actions.

Congratulations to our legislative-political bootcamp participants!

These members play a critical role in helping move our worker-first political agenda forward and holding our elected officials accountable. Want to know how your senator or representative is doing on CWA members’ legislative priorities?

The Legislative-Political Team has released our CWA Congressional Scorecard. The scorecard tracks major votes on issues like lowering costs for working families, defending our freedom to join a union, protecting Social Security, and safeguarding our democracy. For example, you can see how lawmakers voted on measures like the FY 2025 Budget Resolution, which laid the groundwork for deep cuts to programs working families rely on, and other bills that impact workers’ rights and economic security.

You can also view each lawmaker’s lifetime score, which shows how they’ve voted on workers’ issues over the course of their career in Congress, based on votes tracked since 2019.

Check out the scorecard to see how your members of Congress are voting on the issues that matter most to working people and where they stand when it counts!
