The Connection

We have an election on Tuesday April 7th, that many local educators are working hard on! Although this state Supreme Court race seems quiet compared to last year, this election is just as important because there are many referendums and school board races happening!

We have more information on recommended candidates and referendums below, but I just wanted to highlight all the educators who have worked hard to turn out the vote for candidates and funding that support Public Education! In Appleton, Chiton, Neenah and Gillett teams have worked diligently to inform their community on why these elections matter. Great work everyone!

In Solidarity,

Kristin Lytie

WEAC

WEAC Uniserv Director Justin Delfosse, and the Appleton EA recruited members to handwrite postcards to encourage voter turnout in for their referendum and pro-public education school board candidates.

In February, local presidents and secretaries will receive an email from WEAC with delegate registration information. If your local needs to update officer information, have had a change in leadership, or if you have questions regarding delegate registration, please call the WR3 office for assistance.
