Cuesta Federation of Teachers endorses assembly candidate Dawn Addis
–The Cuesta College Federation of Teachers announced on Wednesday its endorsement of Dawn Addis, the Democratic candidate in Assembly District 35. California Assembly District 35 includes San Luis Obispo County and Northern Santa Barbara County. It is currently represented by Jordan Cunningham (R-Templeton).
Deborah Stakes, the President of the CCFT – which is the Local Chapter 04909 of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) – said that the organization voted to endorse Addis following an in-depth interview process that focused on Career Technical Education policies, as well as how to deal with the shortfall of funding to Cuesta College as a result of the imminent closure of the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power facility. “We were impressed with the breadth of her ideas,” Stakes said.
Dawn Addis Sets Sights on Calif. Assembly Seat
NORTH COUNTY — Being an educator, Morro Bay councilmember, co-founder of the Women’s March SLO and a local activist, Dawn Addis (D) is no stranger to having her voice heard. In November, Addis decided to use that voice to represent the California Assembly 35th District.

Addis said that she doesn’t believe Assemblyman Jordan Cunningham adequately represents all of the Central Coast.

Greeted by a raucous San Luis Obispo Guild Hall crowd of more than 100 people, Dawn Addis opened her run for state Assembly on Nov. 7 like she did her political life in 2017 as a Women’s March SLO organizer: surrounded by energized local progressives.
“In 2017, millions of us took to the streets knowing that the fabric of America was about to be torn in ways we couldn’t fathom,” Addis told SLO Progressives Club members at their annual Friendsgiving dinner on Nov. 7. “We came together to demand a more positive and just future. Together we laced up our shoes.”
Jordan Cunningham has a challenger for Assembly, and it’s a familiar SLO County progressive
Morro Bay councilwoman Dawn Addis — a longtime political activist and a co-founder of Women’s March SLO — will challenge Republican state Assemblyman Jordan Cunningham in November 2020, she announced Thursday.
Addis made the announcement at the SLO County Progressives meeting in San Luis Obispo on Thursday evening.
“I have been active and engaged in our local issues and encouraging other people to use their voices and run for office,” she said by phone earlier in the day. “It’s important to me to lead by example.”
