SAG-AFTRA Members Re-elect Fran Drescher President and Joely Fisher Secretary-Treasurer
SAG-AFTRA members have re-elected two of the union’s top ranking officers, returning to office Fran Drescher as president and Joely Fisher as secretary-treasurer. Their two-year terms begin today.
Ballots for the national officers election were mailed to 124,477 eligible voters on August 9, 2023, and 28,430 were returned today, for a return of 22.84% percent. Fran Drescher received 23,080 votes, and Maya Gilbert-Dunbar received 5,276 votes. In the election for secretary-treasurer, Joely Fisher was elected to the position with 19,777 votes, and Peter Antico received 8,361 votes.
President Fran Drescher said, “I am honored to serve my union as president for another term. These are dynamic times and as one member body, we will weather the storms, stand on our principles and make sure our major contributions to this collaborative art form shall never again be diminished but rather be exalted. I want all members to be equal in all ways and I will continue to fight against marginalization and discrimination within our union, from our employers and the world at large. Our main objective as a labor union must be to make sure everyone has equal opportunity to work. Together, we will watch partisanship fade away as we develop a new culture of respect, patience and understanding. Taking our time, speaking from the heart and making decisions must be based on wisdom and not politics. Much has been accomplished in the past two years but I feel great optimism that the next two will be our greatest ever! As we let go of tribalism and gain more empathy for one another, as we realize that with each experience comes opportunity to better ourselves on our journey of self refinement, we will also enter a Golden Age for SAG-AFTRA.”
