2026 General Election

NFA PAC Endorsements

A vital election starts in just a few days. Candidates for federal and state office will decide the future of education in this state and our country. Most importantly for our organization, they will shape the process of collective bargaining for all public workers. At every step this election, through our Political Action Committee (PAC), NFA has worked to ensure that faculty issues are heard. In one-on-one conversations, in the AFL-CIO endorsement process, and with our allies in organizations across the state. We're happy to share the following resources with you as you choose who will lead our state:

1. Know your district & legislators. Look it up HERE
2. Check your voter registration. Check HERE
3. Check the NFA PAC endorsed list below. We've noted who has been interviewed and endorsement by the NFA-PAC, as a committed champion of public higher education. 
4. Check our affiliate endorsements. AFL-CIO endorsements are HERE.

We encourage you to support pro-education and pro-worker candidates up and down the ballot.
