Any candidate running for political office in Oregon can seek the endorsement of the OEA Political Action Committee (OEA-PAC). Educators gain insight into a candidate's legislative priorities through candidate questionnaires and through candidate interviews. Using this information, local educators take votes to endorse a candidate based on their pro-public education credentials.
The OEA-PAC is the endorsing authority for Oregon's legislative and statewide elections and the NEA-PAC is the endorsing authority for candidates running for federal office, including the US House, the US Senate, and President.
