SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA – Today, Assemblyman Jordan Cunningham announced that he has received the endorsement of the California Teachers Association (CTA).

“As a former Templeton School Board Member, I understand the importance of providing our teachers with the tools they need to succeed,” said Cunningham. “Education is a top state priority and is foundational to our economy. I am proud that my efforts to support and improve public education have been recognized by our teachers.”
