Loading ...After a broad outreach to members, AFT has endorsed Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) in the 2008 presidential race.
The AFT heard from its 1.4 million members through a seven-month process of individual surveys, regional caucuses and You Decide 2008, an interactive website. The union's executive council sent questionnaires to all announced candidates and met with many of them for a question-and-answer session, where candidates answered questions submitted by AFT members. In addition to Clinton, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), former Sen. John Edwards (D-N.C.) and Gov. Bill Richardson (D-N.M.) accepted the invitation to answer members' questions.
