Issues and priorities

The concerns members are raising and the leadership this campaign is offering

Dre is running on clarity, respect, and practical advocacy that members can see and measure.

Union strength and solidarity

The issue: Members want a union culture that brings people together, restores confidence, and makes it unmistakably clear that every member and every facility matters and will be heard.

The direction: Dre’s focus is on rebuilding trust, strengthening internal unity, and making sure the Southwest Region is known for serious representation, member engagement, and a labor voice that commands respect.

Transparency and communication

The issue: Members deserve timely information, candid communication, and leadership that stays visible when questions are difficult and stakes are high.

The direction: Dre is committed to a culture of openness that keeps members informed, answers concerns directly, and treats communication as a core responsibility of all NATCA membership and his leadership.

Pay and economic security

The issue: Controllers across the region are feeling the strain of rising costs and delayed earned compensation, while pay has fallen behind inflation and the cost of supporting their families.

The direction: Dre will seize every opportunity to push for fair pay, timely implementation of earned raises, and modern compensation that reflects the value controllers bring every day.

Campaign tone

A campaign focused on substance
