ALBANY – New York State United Teachers has released endorsements in races for the New York state Senate and Assembly as well as recommendations for congress to be forwarded on to national affiliates, the American Federation of Teachers and National Education Association. In total, NYSUT is endorsing or recommending 240 candidates for state and federal offices.
“We need representatives in the halls of power — from Albany to Washington — who will work to find common ground to get things done for working-class families and strong public schools,” said NYSUT President Melinda Person. “After an extensive research and vetting process including the voices of our leaders, NYSUT is thrilled to endorse candidates who we feel share these values and who are committed to democracy, compromise and healthy debate so we can get important things done together.”
The full list of endorsements can be found below.
NYSUT-endorsed candidates receive grassroots support from NYSUT members, including phone banking, door knocking and literature distribution. The union also makes financial contributions from voluntary donations through VOTE-COPE, the union’s non-partisan political action committee.
