Education Minnesota endorsed candidates
On Nov. 5, Education Minnesota members will head to the polls and vote for the elected officials that will represent us at all levels of government. These elected officials make decisions that impact every part of our jobs, from the amount of funding our districts receive, to the policies that govern our bargaining practice, to our pensions and health care options and more.
We encourage all Education Minnesota members to learn about the candidates that are on your ballot and to use your political power to elect leaders who will support our schools, our educators and our communities. To help you learn more about who is on your ballot, we have put together a list of endorsed candidates.
Over the summer, Education Minnesota members have participated in candidate screenings at the local and statewide levels. All declared candidates, across all parties, were invited to participate in the screening process.
The Education Minnesota Political Action Committee, made up of members from across the state, has recommended the following candidates for election as of September 15. Some candidate screenings are still ongoing, and we will continue to release endorsements throughout the campaign season. Members of Education Minnesota are designated with an asterisk.
