The 238,000 member California School Employees Association (CSEA) has endorsed Democrat Dave Jones for California Attorney General.

Dave Jones is one of California’s most effective elected leaders; he will be an outstanding Attorney General.”
CSEA, founded in 1927, is one of California’s largest and most respected unions. Their 238,000 member classified employees work in vital roles in school districts across the state, including cafeteria, para-educators, transportation, office and clerical, and maintenance.

CSEA is an influential member of the California Labor Federation (AFL-CIO).
“I have worked closely with CSEA on numerous issues as a member of the State Assembly and as Insurance Commissioner,” responded Dave Jones. “They represent the very best of the labor movement in California, professional, dedicated and effective. I am deeply honored to have their support.”
