The 2026 elections are starting now.
Your leadership in our democracy is more important than ever!
No matter our race, ZIP code, or background, Minnesota educators cherish our freedoms: To vote, to worship or not, to teach honestly, to bargain collectively, and to work in union for the resources we need to be healthy, focused and financially secure at work and in retirement.
But today, certain billionaires, and the national politicians they pay for, want to silence educators through disinformation, defunding, doxxing, and destroying our unions.
But in 2026, educators can come together to elect local, state and federal leaders who will respect the promise of public education for all. Together, we can use our voices to create schools and campuses from Rochester to Red Lake, and everywhere in between, where students and educators can thrive.
That is why the educators of the Education Minnesota political action committee (PAC) have established two key strategies to win the 2026 campaign. They are:
- Use relational organizing at workplaces to get out the vote of 100 percent of Education Minnesota members, focusing especially on 29,000 members – those who skipped voting in the 2022 election and younger members under 35.
- Educate Education Minnesota members on the candidate stances on the issues, including educator compensation and union rights with the online voter guide at edmnvotes.org and through non-partisan worksite literature and conversations.
The Education Minnesota PAC will be launching these efforts at the 2026 political conference
Friday, Jan. 30 to Saturday, Jan. 31 in Bloomington.
