2025 OEA Endorsements
Endorsements
OEA endorsements for local elections are decided by the educators who live and work in the community where the election will take place. Candidates complete questionnaires and meet with local educators to answer questions directly in order to earn the endorsement. Any candidate listed as endorsed by OEA has earned the support of OEA members in their local community.
