We are very excited to announce our endorsement of Kevin ESCOBAR for School Board, District 7. Kevin is the son of 2 retired teachers and knows the struggles that educators are facing. NAFT is excited to work further with Kevin and we look forward to seeing him take the District 7 seat. The time for change is now!
