AFT-NH Endorses Pro-Public Education Candidates
AFT-NH endorsed a slate of pro-education candidates for Governor, Executive Council, New Hampshire Senate, and New Hampshire House. Each of these candidates promises to be a strong voice for our teachers, our students, and our public schools. AFT-NH President Deb Howes offered the following on the list of endorsements:
“The past two and half years have been some of the hardest for our members. Teaching during a pandemic, through remote and hybrid learning has been an enormous undertaking and challenge. Through it all our members have continued to work for what is best for their students. At the same time, they were facing pandemic-related challenges they also faced challenges from radical politicians in Concord. These politicians passed laws that look to silence and intimidate teachers from teaching honest history. Now, we see an unprecedented number of openings for teacher and support staff positions, many a direct consequence of the actions taken by the legislature these past two years.
When elected we know that each of the endorsed candidates will stand up for our teachers, support staff, and students and make sure New Hampshire’s public schools continue to be the bedrock of our communities.
Background: AFT New Hampshire has endorsed the following candidates as Champions of Public Education:
