Local/State Issues
SJR 10- Constitutional Amendment
The amendment aims to open the state income tax fund currently dedicated to education, children, and individuals with disabilities to fund “other state needs” as defined by the legislature. The UEA Board of Directors has voted unanimously to oppose this constitutional amendment. Find out more here.
Political Action Committee (PAC)
The DEA Political Action Committee is a group of educators who take time to interview candidates running for local and state government. The focus for the Committee is to support and elect education-friendly candidates through endorsement and donation.
No DEA membership dues dollars are used for political action. The DEA PAC depends entirely on voluntary contributions to help support candidates who will help education.
(DEA PAC online donations coming soon)
(This document also shows the breakdown of donations, as well as the different levels of donation)
Getting Involved
One of the best things you can do to bring about a positive change in education is vote for education-friendly candidates. The PAC will help you identify those candidates, but it’s up to each person to vote for those people.
