SEIU California State Council

Anthony Rendon knows that you cannot have a strong economy without a strong workforce, and you cannot have a strong democracy without strong public education. While others hesitated, he helped solidify a legislative supermajority dedicated to progress. Throughout his career, he has been an outspoken champion for all students regardless of their immigration status. Now, as we build a pro-democracy agenda to push back against attacks on our freedoms, we are proud to stand with a leader who has always stood with workers.

AFSCME California

Few leaders have advanced the wellbeing of kids like Anthony Rendon has throughout two decades in early childhood education and 12 years in the Assembly – including historic investments in every level of education during his tenure as Speaker of the Assembly. He knows how to get things done for the people who need it the most, and that's why AFSCME California PEOPLE is so pleased to endorse his campaign for Superintendent of Public Instruction.

Every day in Congress, I see how Donald Trump is weaponizing the federal government to target California, our students, and our hardworking educators. California needs a strong, tested leader to protect our schools and rally like-minded people from across the country to push back against these attacks. I worked closely with Anthony Rendon during his time as Assembly Speaker on numerous efforts to ensure Washington supports California, and I'm confident he's the best person to guide our schools through an uncertain future.

Robert Ortiz Garcia

As the mayor of Long Beach, I worked closely with then-Speaker Anthony Rendon to secure investments in child care, K-12 education, and higher education that opened doors of opportunity for the communities we serve. Now, I have a front-row seat in Congress to witness the damage Donald Trump is inflicting on California schools every single day. Our state needs a tested leader to protect our schools and fight for our students, and that's why I'm strongly endorsing Anthony to be California's next Superintendent of Public Instruction.

United Nurses Associations of California/Union of Health Care Professionals (UNAC/UHCP)

The future of California's nursing workforce runs through our public schools, making quality public education central to everything we stand for. Anthony Rendon has spent his career as a changemaker for students and families — and that's exactly the leadership California needs in its next Superintendent of Public Instruction.

Californians have always recognized the critical role firefighters play in keeping our communities safe – an appreciation that has only deepened in recent years as wildfires have become increasingly common across our state. The next generation of firefighters will be trained in California's public schools, which is why we need a strong, tested leader like Anthony Rendon who will advocate for students no matter what career path they pursue.

United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Western States Council

No one goes to bat for working families like Anthony Rendon – fighting for what they need to succeed in this economy and ensuring every child gets the quality public education they deserve. As Speaker, he was always there for the people scratching and clawing to make it. We know he'll continue to be a champion for them as California's next Superintendent of Public Instruction.

Kevin M. McCarty

Our next Superintendent of Public Instruction must be someone with both an unwavering commitment to providing every child with a high-quality education and the courage to stand strong in the face of a hostile federal government. Having served alongside Anthony Rendon in the Assembly, I witnessed his tireless dedication to students, teachers, and families. I can say with absolute confidence: there is no one more prepared — or more deserving — to take on this responsibility.
