National Education Association & Georgia Association of Educators Make Endorsements in Senate Race

Two powerful lobbying groups for educators have made an endorsement in the U.S. Senate race between Libertarian Shane Hazel, Democrat Jon Ossoff, and Republican David Perdue.

Both the National Education Association and the Georgia Association of Educations have thrown their support behind Jon Ossoff, according to a news release on Friday.

GAE represents 15,000 Georgia educators and educational support personnel, including custodians, cafeteria workers, and school bus drivers. Nationwide, NEA is made up of 3 million members with affiliate organizations in every state and in more than 14,000 communities across the United States.

Announcing the endorsement, GAE President Lisa Morgan pledged to work alongside Ossoff to fully fund public education and help level the playing field for all children across Georgia.
