CSUEU has endorsed these candidates based on their voting record (if they have served in the legislature before), their campaign material, their stances on public education, public employees and unions, and reports about them in the press. We believe they will act in the best interests of the CSU and CSUEU-represented employees if they are elected.

About This Page

Public labor unions and higher education have been under attack for a number of years. This election cycle offers more threats from anti-government, anti-public employee, anti-public labor union, and anti-public education entities than ever before. Our right to exist as an employees’ activist group in the public education arena is at risk of severe damage.

This page is part of CSUEU’s response to such threats. Members of the Legislative Committee and the Board of Directors—your peers and fellow employees of the CSU—arrived at these endorsements of candidates and recommendations regarding ballot measures after careful deliberation and thorough discussion. Not all legislative races have an endorsed candidate, nor do all ballot measures have recommendations. This is because not all candidates have addressed issues that are important to us, and not all measures apply to us.

We hope you will consider how you vote as seriously as we did during our research and deliberations.

Funding for this recommendations and endorsements page did not originate from dues or fees. Donations to CSUEU’s Political Action Committee are the sole source of the costs to develop, activate, and maintain this page.
