UEA-PAC Ballot Box

Elections have consequences. That's why we must vote for pro-public education candidates.

Candidate Recommendation Process

The UEA-PAC operates a rigorous and transparent process for endorsing candidates. Legislative candidates are interviewed by local association PACs, who then submit recommendations to UEA-PAC. For statewide offices and Utah State Board of Education positions, UEA-PAC conducts the interviews and makes recommendations directly.

How Candidates Qualify for UEA-PAC Endorsement

To be considered for endorsement, candidates must:

  • Complete a comprehensive questionnaire.
  • Participate in an interview process.

Incumbent legislative candidates who earned a 100% rating on the annual legislative scorecard are exempt from the questionnaire. Importantly, UEA member dues are never used to fund political campaigns, and UEA-PAC does not oppose any candidate for office.

UEA-PAC is the most powerful tool our association has to protect public schools. 

UEA's political action committee (PAC) uses money voluntarily contributed to elect pro-public education school boards, state representatives and senators, and governors. Join thousands of fellow Utah educators who contribute monthly to UEA-PAC and make your voice heard!
