The following election endorsements were recommended by the Legislative Council and approved by the Board of Directors. Unless previously endorsed, candidates were interviewed by Council members in person or via Zoom.
Typically, odd years only feature races for local elected office. However, many legislative offices are on the ballot due to retirements, officials elected to higher office or appointed to Gov. Ferguson’s administration.
You may note that in many races PSE has decided to issue joint endorsements. In these cases, the Council felt strongly that both candidates would be strong advocates for education support professionals.
As always, PSE encourages members to make informed decisions for the General Election. Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 4.
