Blue State Teachers Union’s $40,000,000 Spending Spree On Dem Gubernatorial Race Falls Flat
The New Jersey Education Association (NJEA) has channeled more than $ 40 million in the state government race supporting the president of the union so that their candidate can finish almost here.
Sean Spiller, the president of the NJEA, ranked fifth in the democratic primary elections of the State, winning only 10% of the vote of June 10 despite the most spending the most for a single candidate of any special interest group in state history, according to Politico.
The campaign of the President of the Union was funded by the New Jersey Super Pac which is directly supported by the NJEA, Politico reported. Before the union’s support, however, Het failed to collect enough funds to even qualify for democratic debates.
Spiller did not respond to the request for comments from the Daily Call News Foundation.
I want to congratulate the deputy Sherrill for her victory tonight.
Although the result is not what we hoped, I am so proud to live in a country where an immigrant and a teacher can come to the post of governor. The fight continues!

State Democrats now denounce Union spending after loss.
The Senator of the Democratic State, Vin Gopal, who chairs the Senate of Education Committee, said that the choice was “worrying” and that local teachers are “quite frustrated” by the use of money, according to Politico.
“I think the NJEA strength will be questioned after these election results,” Gopal told the point of sale. “How isn’t it?”
A former NJEA official who spoke to Politico on condition of anonymity echoed the feeling, saying that expensive approval “did not seem to be a good investment”.
“The credibility of the management of the NJEA, I believe, has been reduced with regard to entering the state and fighting for problems for the association,” the manager told the point of sale.
NJEA is the largest and powerful teachers’ union in New Jersey, representing more than 200,000 members across the State. (Related: the teachers’ union happily declares that its union has American children)
NJEA did not respond to the request for DCNF comments.
Teacher unions have become major democratic campaign donors, the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) helping to elect the left major Brandon Johnson in 2023. Several education associations also tried to take the educational program of the president of Block Donald Trump.
