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.
