Our mission is to recommend and elect pro-public education, pro-labor candidates to office. WEA-PAC makes recommendations in races for statewide, legislative and local candidates.
WEA-PAC recommends and elects pro-student, pro-union candidates regardless of party affiliation. Candidates complete a written questionnaire and participate in an interview with WEA-PAC members. Based on the questionnaire and interview, WEA-PAC members make a recommendation.Together, we can help pro-public education, pro-labor candidates win the elected offices that affect our work and help our students!
