Be a voter for public education
Public education shouldn’t be at the mercy of politics. But the reality is, elected officials are constantly weighing policies on testing, standards and funding that affect our schools, children and educators every day.
That’s why your union supports electing pro-public education candidates to local school boards, the Minnesota Legislature and in Washington, D.C.
Elections matter, and educator voices need to be heard at the polls.

Get involved
Our 2022 campaign is officially under way!
There is A LOT at stake this fall. All of the following offices are up for election:
- Governor
- Attorney general
- State auditor
- Secretary of state
- All state House and Senate seats
- U.S. House and Senate seats
- Many local races
Through our democracy, and especially our union, we have the collective power to vote for public education in 2022 so we can keep our collective bargaining rights, win full funding for our schools and much more.
But we need educators like you at the forefront of a statewide movement for generational change — both in our workplaces and our communities.
Here’s how you can get involved:
State and federal endorsements
Here is a list of our endorsements for state and federal offices as of March 4, 2022.
Local elections
Local elections have a major impact on our communities—especially our public schools and the education profession.
Education Minnesota can help your local create a campaign plan to win your levy or school board election this fall and in the future.
In 2018, 23 of the 32 local levies which Education Minnesota helped with passed.
Political Action Committee
The Education Minnesota Political Action Committee (PAC) is a group of educators from across the state who guide our union’s political and election programs. It is not affiliated with any political party.
The PAC was formed to create political power for educators.
