| The November 6 elections are getting close and candidates are running for the positions of Governor, US House, PA House, half of the US Senate and half of the PA Senate.
Since KEYTA was founded 25 years ago, it has been our strong stance to abstain from endorsing or supporting political candidates and non-educational issues. We have always felt that something as important as a candidate’s vote is personal, and it is not our place to spend member dues or our time forcing candidates or their political positions onto our members.
However, we do believe that voting is a right, a privilege and a responsibility. And, while all elected offices are important, the office of Governor welds power over the future of education and labor policy within our state. This influence includes appointments to the Secretary of the PA Department of Education and countless other appointments, in addition to holding positions on educational boards that impact the direction of education within Pennsylvania.
For your convenience, we have provided below—in alphabetical order—a list of the candidates up for the Governor position as well as a direct link to each of their websites. You are welcome to view each candidate’s specific education platform through their websites below. Due to the vast number of legislative and congressional races, we do not provide this information for those candidates, but do suggest you personally review their positions as well.
