How you can participate now in the 2016 elections

Dear Nurses,

As I know you all agree, this election year is an extremely important one with many critical issues at stake. Nurses cannot stand on the sidelines. We must get engaged and get activated to make our voices heard!

The WSNA Board of Directors on March 17, 2016, adopted the following motion:

In order to ensure safe and quality patient care, increase health care access, and preserve collective bargaining rights of nurses and all workers, WSNA must engage and mobilize our members during the 2016 election to elect nursing, labor, and health care champions for local, state, and national office.

As a registered nurse and through my many years and various roles at WSNA, I know the difference we can make when nurses are engaged in the political process.

Let’s Vote!

– Jan

Janice Bussert, BSN, RN
President, WSN

The deadline to register to vote is April 25th. Register to vote here.

• If you are a Democrat then your way to vote for the presidential nominee is to go to your caucus and vote this Saturday on March 26th. To find out where that takes place click on this link: Find My Caucus Location. Democrats will not use the votes in the Primary Election to choose their nominee for President. If you are a Democrat and not registered to vote you may do so at your caucus.
• If you are a Republican then you’ll want to vote in the Primary Election on May 24th.

We encourage all Nurses to participate regardless of their party affiliation!
