Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro is gaining support among union leaders, including teachers unions, despite his past support for school vouchers. Over 50 local labor leaders, including two of Pennsylvania's largest teachers' unions, have endorsed Shapiro. While these unions opposed Shapiro's stance on school vouchers, they appreciate his efforts to increase education funding.
American Federation of Teachers (AFT) President Randi Weingarten, a vocal opponent of school choice, has not publicly commented on the veepstakes but maintains a personal friendship with Shapiro. Weingarten expects the debate over school vouchers to remain a state issue, as the DNC education platform opposes school choice.
