UTLA Elections

Citywide and Special Category candidates were invited to have filmed statement and Q&A videos. All voters will be voting in Citywide Officer races. Special Directors serve members throughout the District, so they were also invited to participate along with the Citywide Officer candidates.The Directors named in the Constitution are Health and Human Services, Substitute Teachers, Adult Education, Early Childhood Education, Special Education, and Bilingual Education. Only members who work in these areas will see these candidates on their ballot. The three contested races for this election cycle are: Special Ed., Substitutes, and Early Childhood Ed.

Candidates who participated are listed below in the order in which their video was filmed. You can also view these same videos under their individual listings in the Candidates section or on our YouTube.

Note: all videos have accurate captioning — tap the “CC” icon when a video is playing.
