The 2020 election & credit unions

<p>As with nearly every aspect of life, the coronavirus (<a href='http://news.cuna.org/coronavirus'>COVID-19</a>) pandemic has affected how candidates campaign, how people vote, and, as a result, how credit union leaders advocate. <br/><br/>But one constant remains amid these changes: The nonpartisan approach CUNA and the leagues take to support credit union-friendly candidates with messages of how credit unions advance their local communities and transform the financial lives of members—elected officials’ constituents. <br/><br/>This episode of the <a href='http://news.cuna.org/podcasts'>CUNA News Podcast</a>, recorded shortly before the 2020 election, features a conversation with Trey Hawkins, CUNA’s deputy chief advocacy officer for political action. <br/><br/>He takes us through possible election scenarios and their implications for credit unions, priority races for the <a href='https://news.cuna.org/articles/118394-credit-unions-best-represented-by-cuna-says-independent-study'>CUNA/league advocacy team</a>, advocacy advice for credit union leaders, and more.</p>
