The California School Employees Association, a union representing nearly 250,000 classified employees who make California’s public schools run, announced their endorsement of Josh Fryday for Lieutenant Governor.
“CSEA represents the classified employees who keep California’s schools running every day, from custodians and librarians to bus drivers, food service workers, and paraeducators. These are the people who make sure students arrive safely, learn in clean classrooms, receive healthy meals, and get the one-on-one support they need to succeed. Our members support leaders who put their students first and value the workers who serve them. Josh Fryday is that leader,” said CSEA President Adam Weinberger. “His record of public service and commitment to working families make him the clear choice for Lieutenant Governor.”
“I am so grateful for CSEA’s endorsement, and I want every one of their nearly 250,000 members to know this is personal for me,” said Fryday. “The classified employees in my public schools growing up were mentors, role models, cheerleaders and the reason so many of us had a shot at a quality education and better future. I carry their dedication and commitment with me every day in my public service, and I will carry it with me to Sacramento. Thank you to CSEA for trusting me to fight for the people who make our schools run.”
Fryday is a father to three, husband to a public school teacher, Navy veteran, former mayor and member of the Governor’s cabinet. As California’s Chief Service Officer, Fryday has grown the California Service Corps to be larger than the entire Peace Corps.
Fryday’s campaign for Lieutenant Governor has also received the endorsement of the California Teachers Association, the California Federation of Teachers, Senator Barbara Boxer, Pete Buttigieg, State Senator Melissa Hurtado, State Senator Henry Stern, Assemblymember Joaquin Arambula, Assemblymember Sharon Quirk-Silva, Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel, Assemblymember Chris Rogers, Riverside Mayor Patricia Lock Dawson, Anaheim Mayor Ashleigh Aitken, Santa Ana Mayor Valerie Amezcua, Stockton Mayor Christina Fugazi, Moreno Valley Mayor Ulises Cabrera, VoteVets, San Diego County Young Democrats, California Legislative Jewish Caucus, and many others.
