Teachers union to host 2020 Democratic presidential forum focused on education
The National Education Association announced Friday that it will host a number of Democratic presidential hopefuls next month to discuss issues affecting students, educators and schools.
The NEA said Sens. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) would be present at the event, as well as former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro, former Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-Texas), and Washington Gov. Jay Inslee (D).
The union said they expect more candidates to confirm their attendance at the forum in the coming days, which is slated to take place in Houston on July 5.
The event will give candidates a chance to showcase their education policies to teachers and administrators at a gathering hosted by the nation's largest labor union.
