FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – July 27, 2026
SEIU 775 has endorsed Bill Hill for Alaska’s lone seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. SEIU 775 represents thousands of caregivers who provide in-home care and support to seniors and people with disabilities, helping Alaskans live independently in their own communities.
Hill, a lifelong commercial fisherman, 25-year educator, and former construction worker, said he is honored to earn SEIU 775’s support.
“It’s been an honor to meet caregivers over the course of this campaign, and I am thrilled to earn their support,” Bill Hill said. “These are the people who care for our elders. Too often unseen, too often unappreciated, too often underpaid, our caregivers are the bedrock of our local communities and economies. Congress should be fighting to make sure seniors can receive quality care and that the workers who provide that care earn good wages, receive proper training, and have the respect they deserve. That will be a priority for me in Washington.”
“I trusted Nick Begich when he told me he’d stand with Alaska’s caregivers and protect Medicaid. Then he voted the other way. That’s why I am supporting Bill Hill. Caregivers are proud to endorse Bill because he understands working Alaskans and he has lived it himself — as fisherman, a teacher, and a blue-collar worker. We know he’ll fight for the people of this state, not for billionaires,” said Essie Frank, a caregiver and SEIU member from Fairbanks.
This endorsement adds to a growing list of Alaska leaders and organizations backing Bill Hill for Congress, including the AK AFL-CIO and more than a dozen other unions, The Alaska Center, 11 legislators from bush and urban Alaska, local government and school board members, and Alaska Native leaders from across the state.
Bill Hill is running for Congress to lower the cost of living, fight corruption, protect the Alaska way of life, and ensure government works for hardworking Alaskans.
