The Presidential election along with 34 incumbent U.S. Senators (20 Democrats and 14 Republicans) and all seats including the newly reapportioned ones in the U.S. House of Representatives will be up for reelection in 1992.

That AFSCME members through their PEOPLE Program will continue their excellent political and fundraising work in order to support our friends and defeat our enemies and set a PEOPLE fundraising goal of at least $2.00 per member per year for the 1992 elections.
