These officials helped guide California through unprecedented challenges during the past four years, taking action to protect communities from COVID-19 and making his- toric investments in public education. During extraordinarily difficult times, these leaders showed themselves to be true friends to stu- dents, educators and public schools. "In California, we were fortunate to have strong leaders when we needed them most," CTA President E. Toby Boyd says. "We need their continued guidance and leadership. I hope you'll join me in voting for these proven leaders on or before Nov. 8."
