Electing pro-public education candidates who will invest in our schools and our communities
2026 Application for Recommendation

Information for Candidates

Applications for the 2026 Primary are now being accepted through October 17, 2025

All candidates seeking office are invited to apply for our association’s recommendation. Candidates submitting completed questionnaires will be invited to interview with our panel of educators. Candidates who have filed for State Delegate/State Senator will receive a questionnaire from MSEA.

HCEA is extremely proud of the democratic participation of rank-and-file educators throughout our recommendation process. Candidates complete a questionnaire, and are invited to interview with our panel. From there, the recommendation proceeds through all levels of HCEA governance, finally coming before our elected HCEA building representatives for a vote on recommendation.
