Update on NYSUT Endorsements …
NYSUT endorsements hold senators accountable for APPR votes –
At its three-day Presidents Conference on Endorsements, NYSUT withheld support from every state senator who voted for more charter schools and against reforms to the state’s broken testing and evaluation system in the waning hours of the legislative session, but backed dozens of other candidates for state and federal office. The local presidents and political activists at the conference made “no endorsement” in the race for governor, but endorsed Comptroller Tom DiNapoli for re-election and New York City Public Advocate Letitia James for state attorney general.
