Cast your vote for pro-public education candidates

Election day is next Tuesday, Nov. 8.

PSEA members have worked hard to analyze and recommend pro-public education candidates up and down your ballot. We encourage you to consider voting for candidates like Josh Shapiro for governor, John Fetterman for U.S. Senate, and pro-public education candidates for the state Legislature.

You can find all of these public school champions at www.schoolhouseballot.com.
