Dear Colleagues,
Please find below our election recommendations as voted on by either our local AFT Guild, our statewide CFT, or the San Diego and Imperial Counties Labor Council.
If a race is not listed here it means we have not taken a position on it and therefore cannot provide you with any guidance.
This really is the entire list of all endorsements. Â Really.
In Solidarity,
Jim
Jim Mahler, President
AFT Guild, Local 1931
