Fisher, who is also running for a seat on the national board, says in her candidate’s statement that “In 2020, our current administration touted an historic contract. I was outraged. We all know that we can and should do better. I knew I had to get back into the boardroom. I ask for your vote for seats on both the National and Local Boards.

Five candidates are vying for two L.A. Local vice presidencies: Unite for Strength’s Jeff Garlin and Katie Von Till; Membership First’s Sheryl Lee Ralph and David Jolliffe; and independent candidate Peter Kwong. Jolliffe, an incumbent, says in his campaign statement that “Throughout my 2 terms as your 2nd Vice-President, I’ve tried to lead with strength, honesty and compassion. We in Los Angeles have held the line against a National Board that is reckless, weak and incapable of working in the best interests of the membership. We were betrayed by our own Union regarding the SAG-AFTRA Health Plan.

Jason George: “For better or worse, technology is changing our industry every day. Diversity is now a requirement of the business model. As chair of the Diversity Advisory Committee, I’ll continue to fight for better, more authentic representation and equal treatment on both sides of the camera, in all categories of work, for all races, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, ages and abilities. Streaming has destabilized the economics of the business.

Lee Purcell: “My passion is to help ALL members, but my focus is to end ageism and gender bias toward senior and women members to increase employment opportunities and respect for those underserved “minorities.” As a Los Angeles Local Board member and Chair of the LA Seasoned Performers Committee, I immediately collaborated with insurance professionals to tirelessly guide countless seniors to new health insurance after theirs was unceremoniously cancelled.

Sharon Stone: “I always tell the truth when it’s time to hear the truth. The protections we have achieved don’t go nearly far enough. I’ve been fortunate to enjoy 40 years working in our industry, but I’ve also been the victim of sexual harassment and discrimination. I also suffered an extreme health emergency and know how critical it is to have our promised healthcare when that unforeseen moment comes.
