Rep. Davids has 100% voting record on AFGE’s top legislative issues
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. — The American Federation of Government Employees proudly announces its endorsement of Rep. Sharice Davids for reelection to Congress representing Kansas’ 3rd Congressional District. The statewide primary is Aug. 4, and the general election is Nov. 3.
Rep. Davids has demonstrated a strong and consistent commitment to federal employees and working families. In 2025, she maintained a 100% voting record in support of AFGE-backed issues, standing firmly with federal workers during one of the most significant periods of attacks on their rights, including efforts to weaken collective bargaining protections.
“Representative Davids didn’t just talk about supporting federal employees; she showed up when it mattered most,” AFGE District 9 National Vice President Shane Reedy said. “She had a 100% voting record for AFGE members in 2025 and proved she had our backs during some of the toughest fights we’ve faced. Now it’s our turn to have hers.”
Throughout the past year, AFGE members across District 9 have worked to push back against policies that threaten the federal workforce, including efforts to undermine workplace protections, cut benefits, and erode collective bargaining rights. Representative Davids stood alongside AFGE members in these fights, advocating for fair treatment, respect, and dignity for public servants.
More than 21,800 federal employees live in Kansas — caring for veterans, supporting the military, and making sure Social Security recipients get their benefits accurately and on time.
AFGE is the largest federal employee union in the country, representing more than 820,000 federal and D.C. government workers in all functions of government. AFGE represents more than 56,000 federal employees in District 9, which includes Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma.
