**FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE**
AFT PENNSYLVANIA RELEASES 2024 GENERAL ELECTION ENDORSEMENTS
Plymouth Meeting, PA, Tuesday, September 24, 2024 – American Federation of Teachers, Pennsylvania (AFT Pennsylvania)’s 41-member Executive Council on Tuesday released its list of endorsed candidates for federal, statewide, and legislative offices across the Commonwealth. AFT Pennsylvania represents 36,000 educators, paraprofessionals, school staff, nurses, charter school employees, community college faculty, and state employees across 64 locals in Pennsylvania and Delaware.
“Despite recent victories in every level of government, educators, students and their families continue to face unrelenting attacks on public education and the teaching profession,” said Arthur Steinberg, President of AFT Pennsylvania. “In this year’s election, public education and the labor movement face the largest existential threat in modern history in the form of Donald Trump and his MAGA Republican minions at all levels, from the White House to the State House. Our endorsed candidates represent a positive agenda for ensuring that all students receive the education they deserve and that educators and school staff have the resources they need to deliver high-quality instruction.”
