- CTU endorses 15 school board candidates, throwing weight behind incumbents, mayoral picks
The Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) endorsed 15 candidates in the upcoming school board election, focusing on 10 incumbents and mayoral appointees. Notable exclusions include Yesenia Lopez, a prior CTU-endorsed candidate who voted independently. The CTU faces challenges in six districts due to lack of aligned candidates, and some races may be affected by petition challenges. The union's political action committees have limited funds but a large membership base for voter outreach.
