Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to report that our two candidates in our top priority Board of Trustee races in the GCCCD and SDCCD both fared well with Elena Adams garnering 63.85% of the vote, and Mariah Jameson capturing 69.69%. Both will still need to run off in November.
The Statewide Mental Health Initiative, Proposition 1, maintains a slight lead at 50.2% and is likely to pass.
You can view all results here for local races and statewide races.
Thank you all for your support, buckle your seat belts for November!
In Solidarity,
Jim

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 these organizations have not taken a position on it and therefore we cannot provide you with any guidance. This really is the entire list of all endorsements. Really. We aren’t hiding any, I promise.
In Solidarity,
Jim
