In these troubling times it is more important than ever that we elect education and labor friendly representatives.

Your state union affiliate AFT-Oregon has made recommendations for Oregon State Offices and US Senator and US House Representatives that have been mailed directly to your home*.  Please look at those recommendations as you are marking your ballot as well as other research tools you use in determining your vote.  AFT-Oregon has a thorough and rigorous process of written questionnaires and interviews.    Candidates are not recommended just because they are of a certain party, but because they support the values and interests of the union and working people.  The AFT-Oregon makes its recommendations based on resolutions passed at annual conventions.

There are plenty of opportunities to be part of the process by phone banking or canvassing, more information and dates are located here.  I’ll be at most of these events, please join me!!

-Louise Currin, PFTCE Political Education VP

Remember Ballots must be received by your county’s election office by Tuesday, November 2!!!!
