[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Dear Colleagues,
Vote by mail ballots will begin arriving at voters’ homes this week. Hence, the November general election season is officially underway!
Below please find three sets of recommendations:
- Your AFT Guild recommendations for our local Governing Board races;
- Recommendations from the San Diego-Imperial Counties Labor Council on other local races;
- A link from the California Federation of Teachers to allow you to input your address to get these and other local and statewide recommendations.
Please note, if the race you are looking for (a judge for example) is not listed, it means none of these three bodies have taken a position on that race.
Most importantly, whether you take our recommendations or not, please make sure you vote!
Feel free to share this list with your family and friends!
