2010 Candidates Walk a Day in Our Shoes

To win our endorsement, we want candidates to see what it's like to do the hard work that we do every day. Everyone from President Obama to local school board candidates have participated in order to be considered for our support.

Walking a day in our shoes doesn't guarantee our endorsement, but it qualifies a candidate to be considered when we have our Town Hall meetings and vote on which candidates will get our support.
