The California Teachers Association and the California Federation of Teachers, representing a combined 430,000 educators in California, both endorsed Josh Fryday’s campaign for Lieutenant Governor.
“The California Teachers Association is proud to endorse Josh Fryday for Lieutenant Governor,” said CTA President David Goldberg. “He is a product of California public schools, sends his three children to public schools and is married to a public school teacher. He understands public schools don’t happen by accident — they happen when leaders listen to educators, respect our profession, and fight for every student. He is the kind of leader California needs and we know he will be a champion for educators, students and families.”
“The California Federation of Teachers is proud to endorse Josh Fryday. We know he will fight for the funding, respect, and policies our educators, classified professionals, and students need to succeed. He is the husband of a public school educator, the parent of three children in public schools, and a product of California public schools. He is an innovative leader and shares the values we need to protect working people and improve our schools,” said CFT President Jeff Freitas.
“I’m running for Lieutenant Governor to bring a new generation of leadership to Sacramento for the change we all want and need,” said Fryday. “The support of teachers and educators means so much to me because I know the heart, hard work and dedication it takes to educate our children and create opportunity for everyone. I’m the proud husband of a public school teacher, a father of three kids in public schools, and attended California public schools from Kindergarten all the way through the UC System. I know the impact of teachers on my life and know very personally when they have the resources and support to succeed, we all succeed.”
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 Senator Barbara Boxer, State Senator Melissa Hurtado, State Senator Henry Stern, Assemblymember Joaquin Arambula, 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.
