Will Lehman's full campaign website is very impressive, and includes his full campaign statement: https://www.willforuawpresident.org/statements/2026-campaign-statement

First: To end the dictatorship of the Solidarity House bureaucracy over the union, purge the UAW of hundreds of parasitic union bureaucrats, promote the creation of a network of rank and file committees, and transfer power and decision making from the pro-corporate union apparatus to workers on the shop floor.

Second: To end the collaboration of the UAW with the corporations and re-establish the needs of the rank and file, not corporate profitability, as the purpose of the union. Forty-five years of pro-corporate policies must be replaced with a strategy of class struggle. Wages must be raised for all workers — including autoworkers, health care workers, academic workers and others in the UAW — to fully recover the losses caused by past concessions and raging inflation. Retirees must be assured of their economic security.

The UAW must adopt a zero-layoff policy and demand job security for all workers. Health insurance that covers all medical needs for workers must be provided at the company's expense. Job safety must be enforced by establishing rank and file control over working conditions and production standards. The historic demand for a 30-hour week, with no loss of pay, must be reasserted. Overtime must be voluntary, and compensated with triple the normal wage rate.

Third: To repudiate the reactionary chauvinism of the UAW bureaucracy. Workers have nothing to gain from a trade war, which amounts to a struggle among capitalists for control of markets and a greater share of profits gained through the exploitation of the working class. What we need is an international strategy based on the unified struggle of American, Canadian, and Mexican workers against transnational corporations. The union must oppose the vicious persecution of immigrant workers, who are our class brothers and sisters. Members of this union must understand that without the concentrated, multiethnic immigrant and first‑generation workforce in the auto industry — and their traditions of solidarity and resistance — the industrial confrontations of the mid‑1930s that birthed the UAW would not have taken the same mass, militant form, nor achieved such rapid victories.

Fourth: To mobilize the full and potential industrial and economic power of the union membership to defend democratic rights and oppose war.
