Endorsement Policy

CFA’s endorsement process helps CFA identify the best candidates for legislative and constitutional office, and helps candidates learn more about CFA and the CSU.

CFA members interview and evaluate candidates based on their views on a range of issues including, but not limited to, collective bargaining rights, funding for the CSU, and public accountability regarding the use of funds.

Help CFA’s program by contributing to CFA political funds. Learn more here.

NO on the Recall

The recall campaign of California Gov. Gavin Newsom is nothing more than an effort by wealthy anti-union donors to roll back decades of progress on workers’ rights in California. Newsom has been a friend to CFA and to higher public education. While Newsom continues to have our backs by putting in place the strongest worker protections in the nation, anti-union special interests are funneling millions into the recall campaign to weaken or eliminate laws that protect our pay, healthcare, retirement, and safety on the job. Read more about the campaign.

Vote No on the Recall on or before September 14!

Help Protect Higher Education and Contribute to CFA’s Political Action Fund

You can make a difference! Contribute more to CFA political funds.
Teaching and working in the California State University are affected by decisions made at our state Capitol, starting with how much funding the state legislature and the governor will provide to the CSU each year.

CFA political funds are used to support political causes and candidates for the state legislature and statewide ballot measures identified as good for public higher education, for the CSU in particular, and for the faculty and students of the CSU.

CFA chapter leaders interview candidates and make recommendations to the CFA Board of Directors as to whom and what initiatives to support at election time. When we contribute to a candidate individually, our few dollars accomplish a little. But, by banding together through our union, we can have a real impact for the future of the CSU. As a CFA member, voluntary deductions for CFA political funds are $10 per month (or $5 if gross monthly salary is below $2,000), unless you have previously opted out of these contributions.

Whatever amount you choose, thank you for joining together as colleagues to make a difference in the political arena for public higher education.

Please note: Voluntary contributions to the CFA political funds are not deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes.
