Now more than ever, support and VOTE for CTA’s recommended candidates.
Remember — your vote makes a difference. In California’s “open primary” system, the top two vote-getters, regardless of political party, will move on to the November general election. Now more than ever we must elect lawmakers who will fund public schools and support teachers. Know that when you cast your vote for CTA-recommended candidates, you vote for those who will support teaching and learning issues. Learn more at www.cta.org.

Vote yes on Proposition 28
Term Limits Reform
This initiative changes the term limits of members of the state Legislature, which currently allow a legislator to serve two terms in the Senate and three terms in the Assembly, for a maximum of 14 years. Prop. 28 reduces the lifetime total to 12 years, but allows a legislator to serve in the Assembly, the Senate, or a combination of the two. While the overall limit would be reduced, a legislator could stay longer in one house and develop greater expertise within a policy area, which would make them more effective and more accountable to their constituency.
