President’s message: Positive election results not enough (but a very good start)

Education Minnesota President, Denise Specht’s message: Educators should be proud of all we accomplished in the 2022 elections because without the work of our union family there wouldn’t be pro-education majorities in the House and Senate and Minnesotans would not have re-elected Gov. Tim Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison, Secretary of State Steve Simon and State Auditor Julie Blaha, who all support working people.
