Election 2020: AFT CT Endorsements

AFT Connecticut endorses candidates in most of the state legislative races and all five Congressional races.

The endorsements are the result of a vetting process by the AFT Connecticut's Legislative/Political Action Commitee (LPAC), which makes recommentations to the AFT Connecticut Executive Committee's Committee on Political Education (COPE).

ADDED 10/16: See a flyer of the AFT CT priority races (and their AFT CT coordinators) and the election volunteer form to get involved!
