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.

More unions get involved in local elections than ever before

Education Minnesota saw more of its local unions get involved in school board and levy and referendum elections than ever before this fall. Unfortunately, those results were less than sweeping for pro-educator and pro-funding schools, but Education Minnesota members worked hard and made differences in many areas.

Walz reelected, pro-public education, pro-union majorities win in Minnesota House, Senate

Walz reelected, pro-public education, pro-union majorities win in Minnesota House, Senate

Minnesota will have pro-public education majorities in the Minnesota House and Senate, as well as former teachers in the governor’s and state auditor’s office again. The results of Election 2022 show the impact of educators getting involved all across the state.
