With only about two weeks until ballots drop, it’s time to support our PAT-PAC endorsed candidates! Let’s work together to get them into office so that they can fight for us, our students, and all Portlanders. Please keep this endorsement list handy for when it’s time to fill out your ballot, and talk to friends, family, and neighbors about the importance of electing education-friendly candidates. If you’re able, you can support these candidates further by signing up with a campaign to knock on doors, send texts, or make phone calls. We’d especially love for you to show up for Jo Ann Hardesty on October 29, when we’ll be hosting a canvass out of the PAT office!
