WASHINGTON/SACRAMENTO, Calif. - U.S. Senator Kamala Harris on Tuesday released a plan that would use federal money to raise teachers’ salaries, in a nod to several constituencies whose help she will need to win next year’s Democratic presidential nomination – teachers unions, women and black voters.
The National Education Association , which has 3 million members, and the American Federation of Teachers , which has 1.7 million members, are likely months away from endorsing in the 2020 Democratic primary, if they do so at all. Harris’ rollout comes after a wave of high-profile teachers strikes across the country that drew attention to stagnant teachers’ salaries – including in Los Angeles and Oakland in Harris’ home state of California, where her campaign aims for a strong showing.
California, the most populous U.S. state, moved up its 2020 primary to “Super Tuesday” in early March. It has about 500 of roughly 3,800 Democratic state delegates that will officially pick the eventual nominee at the Democratic National Convention.
