“New York’s educators know that elections have real consequences for our students, public schools, and working families who keep our communities strong,” said NYSUT President Melinda Person. “These candidates endorsed by NYSUT have demonstrated a commitment to public education, to the professionals who serve our students every day, and to the policies that give working families the opportunity to thrive. I urge our members and all New Yorkers to make their voices heard this Election Day – our collective future is on the ballot, and every vote counts.”

The NYSUT endorsement process is a member-driven, non-partisan system that begins with local member recommendations in each district. Endorsed candidates receive grassroots support from NYSUT members, including phone banking, door knocking and literature distribution. The union also makes financial contributions from voluntary donations through VOTE-COPE, the union's non-partisan political action committee.
