Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) on Friday picked up the backing of the head of the nations largest teachers union in his bid to lead the Democratic National Committee.
In a statement announcing her personal endorsement, National Education Association president Lily Eskelsen García said she knows Ellison will be a unifying force for Democrats.
Keiths emphasis and well-documented commitment to party building and grassroots organizing in every community is exactly what we need as the nation finds itself at a crossroad under the divisive Trump administration, she said.
Eskelsen Garcías endorsement comes just hours after the Service Employees International Union called on its members who can vote for DNC chair to cast their votes for Ellison.
Ellison has been jockeying for the support of leading labor organizations in the race against his chief rival for the post, former Labor Secretary Tom Perez. So far his supporters include the AFL-CIO, Teamsters, United Steelworkers, American Federation of Government Employees, Communications Workers of America, UNITE HERE and National Nurses United. . .

Yes!!!!
I say we here at FR start a “ellison for dnc” movement! In fact the GOP should do that!
It. Would. Be. GREAT!!!!
Now that the teachers’ union is pimping Islamofascism in the public schools I can see why they would back a Muslim.
Never thought I would agree with the teacher union about anything. LOL
5 decades of massive government debt and spending in a fiat currency have enabled many leftist social-engineering schemes and political power-grabbing to come to reality.
Here is proof of it all.
ALLU FUBAR!!!
Perfect, The Dems are swerving so far Left they will finally expose themselves as bone fide socialist kooks just as the media finally exposed themselves as hate filled Left Wing activists.
They should pick him. The democrat party has become an America-hating muzzie loving institution. He would be someone who reflects their aspirations.
Just when you think these Extreme, Alt-Leftists have finally fallen off the edge of the earth they take another step.
we have GOT GOT to get these d***ed traitors OUT OF running our childrens’ schools (screwalls)!!!!!!!!!!!
Do it. Please. That would be great.
Best thing to happen to the DNC. Way better than Howard Dean, Terry Mc or Debbie W-S.
Winning~!
;)
this is absolutely SHOCKING (and disgusting), EVEN if its from a screwall union hack
SHOCKING!
we need to get these traitors OUT of our kids’ schools!!!
Me too.
“Howard Dean”
I wouldn’t put him in the cast of characters like Terry McLunatic and mayo-head ... Dean is a brilliant man ... The “Dean Scream” may have done him in, but I think the media pushed that to get the establishment pick of John Kerry on the Dem’s ticket in 2004. He is far from unhinged.
Under Dean’s leadership, the Dems won big in 2006 and even bigger in 2008. After the ascension of their boy-God Obama, it’s been all downhill for the Dems (despite 2012) ... that downhill trend started shortly after Dean left (I think the neighborhood-child-molesting-looking freak was appointed next ... probably for grooming ... Kaine wound up on the Dem’s ticket in 2016 as we witnessed).
Elison’s appointment will be a gift. They need a tactician in that office, not a rabble rouser ... they’re only going to get funnier in that they won’t be gaining any power while he’s calling the shots.
The Left seems to be on a mission to drive Trump’s approval numbers north of 70%
The demise is underway
Perfect! Pitch perfect!
Please Do This !
The white feminists and the LGBT will be without a party.(at least one that wants them)
