SAG-AFTRA announced the candidates for its upcoming election, with four people running against incumbent president Gabrielle Carteris.
Former “Beverly Hills, 90210" actress Gabrielle Carteris will have competition in her quest for reelection as president of SAG-AFTRA, with four people running against her, according to information released by the union Wednesday.
Other candidates vying for the role of president are veteran actor Matthew Modine, stuntman and actor Abraham Justice, the union’s current secretary-treasurer and stunt performer Jane Austin and Queen Alljahye Searles.“I’m asking for your vote because SAG-AFTRA has a huge impact on performers’ ability to make a living, and I’m experienced in making positive change for members,” Carteris said in a statement on the union’s voter guide.
“If you’re reading this statement, I want to remind you that you’re much more than a member,” Modine wrote in the voter guide. “You’ve paid an initiation fee, you pay dues, and contributions are made to your health and pension plans. This means you have ownership in this union. It’s your union, and you have a say in how it functions.”AdvertisementThe elections come as SAG-AFTRA will enter into negotiations in the future on TV and theatrical contracts.
