SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — The top staff member at California’s largest labor union has resigned after she and her husband were charged with felonies including tax fraud.
Alma Hernandez served as executive director for SEIU California since 2016. The union represents more than 700,000 workers and is politically influential, regularly donating millions to Democratic candidates. The Sacramento Bee first reported the charges and her resignation.
Attorney General Rob Bonta said Wednesday his office filed charges against Hernandez and her husband, Jose Moscoso, on Oct. 4.
They were charged with five felony counts of filing false tax returns, allegedly under reporting their income by about $1.4 million over five years, according to the complaint. They allegedly owe the state more than $140,000 and could face state prison time.
Hernandez also faces two charges of grand theft and one of perjury for her work as treasurer on a 2014 political committee supporting a state Senate candidate.
The complaint alleges she directed nearly $12,000 in campaign money to her husband for campaign food services that he never provided.
That political committee received numerous contributions from the SEIU California’s political arm, according to campaign finance filings.

Hmmm - union leader. Maybe a racketeer? Wouldn’t be surprised.
I am absolutely shocked that the head of the SEIU union in California is being prosecuted for anything just as I would be shocked if Hunter Biden were prosecuted by Joe Biden’s DOJ. There must be more to this story. What did she do to make enemies with Gavin Newsom?
“Look for the union label.”
Her husband didn’t sleep with him?
Weird huh?~sarc
She obviously didn’t hand over 10% to the Big Guy.
Got the leftist POS. If convicted, it will be a major blow to the MARXIST hold on the SEIU.
She forgot to add "and being an expert tax scofflaw".
Why would a leftist Dem press charges against another leftist Dem?
Answer: To get his own leftist Dem in the position so money can be funneled his way.
Can we all stop pretending that that's not how things work?
My thought, too. She and her husband are protected multiple ways Union, Dem, La Raza, and more. Something is going on.
Very unexpected, the SEIU is Obama’s favorite
Is every union corrupt?
And Biden should pay more attention to these people instead of targeting normal people who spend $600.
Wait, I thought that was an explicit part of the job description?
“charged with felonies...” She is lucky to be caught now and has a chance to repay her debts. Others in the union will not be so lucky and will regret it forever. “The gain of the wicked brings punishment” (Proverbs 10:16).
Ya don’t say.
What did she do to make enemies with Gavin Newsom?
The Big Man did not get his cut.
Maybe she forgot to give 10% to the big guy.
Should have bought a couple of Hunter’s “art works.”
