The Chicago Teachers Union endorsed 11 candidates across 10 districts for the city’s first school board election in November.
Chicago Teachers Union President Stacy Davis Gates speaks at a CTU/Chicago Public Schools public bargaining session at Marquette Elementary, June 14, 2024. The CTU endorsed 11 candidates for 10 seats – a mix of educators, parents, community organizers and a pastor.
In District 6, the CTU endorsed two candidates: Anusha Thotakura, deputy director at Citizen Action/Illinois, and Brenda Delgado, vice president of the board of the parent advocacy group Raise Your Hand. In the rest of the districts, they endorsed one candidate each.
“For decades, educators watched as Chicago’s schools suffered when the Board of Education put the voices of billionaires and bankers over the voices of students, parents and educators. In November, that changes,” Davis Gates said. “Working collectively with community members, parents and students, we worked to change that. And now the city of Chicago will finally have a chance to democratically elect fellow residents to oversee our public schools.
Candidates have until July 15 to disclose their campaign contributions, which, among other factors, could indicate the race’s competitiveness along with the number of candidates on each district’s ballot.
