On February 27, support these NDP candidates in your riding

In October 2024, the OPSEU/SEFPO Executive Board passed its action plan for the provincial election expected in the spring of 2025. Spring came early, election-wise, and Ontarians go to the polls on February 27.Under OPSEU/SEFPO policy, the union is not affiliated with any political party but “supports the NDP both provincially and federally” (Article 1.3.2.2, OPSEU/SEFPO policy manual). More specifically, in 2025, the Executive Board resolution supports: OPSEU/SEFPO members who are candidates for the Ontario New Democratic Party; all ONDP incumbent MPPs; and ONDP candidates who are challenging PC incumbents or seats recently vacated by PC incumbents.
