Vote on November 3!
Three seats on the San Francisco Board Of Education are up for grabs in the November 3 General Election. United Educators of San Francisco supports a slate of three candidates: Reina Tello, Virginia Cheung, and Ryan Hazelton. If all three are elected, they will form a majority on the BOE with former UESF-member, Commissioner Matt Alexander, but this outcome depends on your involvement. UESF members can make the difference in this election. Sign up to volunteer for Reina Tello, Virginia Cheung, and Ryan Hazelton.
