With the support of WEA members and allies during the primary election in August, voters defeated numerous anti-public education incumbents and candidates! And because of you, the candidates endorsed by WEA Political Action Committee for Education (WEA PACE) succeeded in more than 90 percent of their races.
And we're not done yet! Early voting for the General Election begins Tuesday, Oct. 6; you can also vote in person on Election Day - Tuesday, Nov. 3.
WEA PACE is proud to endorse the following candidates for the general election in statewide and legislative races. These are people who are committed to prioritizing and protecting Wyoming's public schools and voting for what's best for students and education professionals.

Lastly, we strongly urge you to VOTE NO ON PROPOSITION 1!
Not only would this proposition greatly harm public schools in Wyoming, it would also have a massive damaging impact on fire departments, emergency services, Weed and Pest districts, and other local government services. Learn more at https://wyvotenoprop1.com/.
Funds from WEA dues are not used to make contributions to candidates or political parties. While not all candidates seek WEA PACE endorsement or reach all requirements for eligibility, some are still considered to be pro-public education, though not formally endorsed.
