Your Elected Officials

The Boston Teachers Union works politically through the Committee on Political Education (COPE) to elect candidates who support public education and who otherwise favor our positions on a variety of work-related issues. The membership voted in 2010 to require all candidates seeking the BTU's endorsement to fill out a questionnaire.

You can sign up for COPE through payroll deductions using a form supplied by your BTU Rep. You can also make a contribution by check or cash. The suggested contribution is $1 per payroll check.

And, if you are not registered to vote, find out how to Register to Vote.

Below find information about your elected officials at the local, state and national level.
