We Warned Them Charters Were Bad

Below is a list of “red light” incumbent candidates who voted for charter schools in 2017. We warned them if they voted for charter schools, which would take funding away from public schools, we would do everything we could to make sure they are voted out. Please help us keep our promises by voting for their opponents, listed to the right.

NEW! Pro-public education candidates who have also taken our pledge to support public schools have a “green light” next to their name. If you are a candidate and wish to be added to our list, please sign our pledge.
