Your help is needed.

 

There is a special election on Tuesday February 9^th in the 3^rd Assembly District to fill the vacant seat of former Assemblywoman Pat Eddington.  (This district is in the Town of Brookhaven mostly in the area around route 112, south of Jericho Turnpike – including parts of Patchogue, Bluepoint, Bellport, Medford, Centereach, Holtsville, Sachem and Middle Island.) 

1)     In this race NYSUT has endorsed Lauren Thoden.  If you live in this district, please vote on February 9^th for Lauren Thoden.
 

2)     NYSUT will be manning phone banks to call and encourage other NYSUT members to vote for Lauren Thoden.  Phone banks will be held at the NYSUT Office in Hauppague (631 273 8822) and the Middle Country Teachers’ Association (631 585 4308) offices on February 3^rd and February 8^th from 2:15 until 6:15 P.M.  Please take an hour or two out of your schedule to make some phone calls. (This is an STA ticketed event worth 5 tickets!!)  If you’re planning on going to MCTA please call their office (585-4308).  If you’re volunteering for Hauppauge please call or e-mail June Smith (563-1472 or jfsmith311@aol.com).

 

Please keep in mind that legislation that is beneficial to STA and NYSUT members is enacted because of the support of NYSUT endorsed candidates.  So please try to make time for the phone banks for Lauren Thoden in the 3rd AD.
