Today is the day we vote for real change for NEA. I know it’s a little scary to vote for someone new, but here in Connecticut, we made that vote 5 years ago and we have a stronger and more influential union because of it. Let’s do this!

Faith’s commitment to ensuring spaces and places for diverse voices within our union is inspiring. This endorsement is a testament to the work she and Kate have done together during Kate’s tenure as CEA President. Kate is committed to collaborating with leaders like Faith who show deep passion and expertise. The experiences that Kate and Faith have ensured for our members in CT are ones Kate is committed to bringing to NEA as president.

Thank you Faith, for this endorsement, your commitment to unionism, and the wisdom you bring to our work.

When a powerhouse voice who holds the titles of: State Teacher of the Year, State Board of Education member, National Teachers Hall of Fame member, local Vice President, County Director, and everyone’s favorite physics teacher and prom chaperone gives you an endorsement, you know Dias for NEA President is the right path forward! It is such an incredible honor and privilege to get to work side by side with Kristen in “unioning” and shaping the face of public education every day in Connecticut.

Thank you, Kristen, for this endorsement! We are thrilled to have you on our team!
