The Illinois Education Association, the teachers union that represents most, if not all, of the school districts’ teachers in retiring State Rep. Mike Tryon’s district, has endorsed McHenry County Board member Carolyn Schofield.
You can see the mailing from the IEA’s Political Action Committee–IPACE–below:
The endorsement of Carolyn Schofield by the largest teachers’ union in Illinois.
heh, heh …. this will lose her the election!
The vast majority of the overpaid teacher-creatures mind-warpers will be taking demo ballots for Bernie and The Witch.
What would cause the IEA to think that Schofield is a candidate
Does she know how toxic this endorsement is in a Republican Primary?
Most republicans say they are against unions but give them their raises and benefits.
Pam Althoff worked in education. McHenry Mayor Low was a special ed teacher.
They use rhetoric both dems and repubs to get people mad at each other than laugh all the way to the bank.
According to the online IEA Voter Guide,
Teachers tend to vote their pay check like most of us.
With the men splitting the vote, well……..
This county has plenty of Libs, the election will be hard to predict.
Wow!
Do ya think she can get teachers to pull a Republican ballot like they did for Dillard?
Vote for her if you like higher taxes!!!!
That’s all I need to see.
Want to know why your property taxes are so high? Here is your answer!
70% goes to schools.
This is the list of who NOT to vote for!!!!!
Good, Union endorsement just says volumes about elected officials.
While she’s pro-choice (abortion) she’s leaving choice of schools out of parents hands.
Avoid her like the plague!
*What would cause the IEA to think that Schofield is a candidate?*
Because she will say and/or do anything for support.
The IPACE process to endorse legislators includes candidate questionnaires and interviews.
IPACE has a similar process for local school board elections.

It’s no coincidence that both teacher and administrator salaries and pensions have greatly outpaced inflation on average in the collar counties after the pension sentence was added to the Illinois state constitution on December 15, 1970 and collective bargaining law was passed by Jim Thompson in the 1980’s, the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Act (IELRA).
