North Carolina Association of Educators, a teachers union, has announced its support of six candidates in N.C. Council of State races in the upcoming election.
A release by NCAE announced that four Democrats and two Republicans won the union's support, but everyone selected is an incumbent.
"At the end of the process, we determined the current Council of State is doing a good job or North Carolina and deserves re-election," said Rodney Ellis, NCAE president.
Recommendations are based on support for public education, job performance and candidate viability, the group said.
Below are the other Council of State hopefuls who won the union's union backing:
State Auditor, Beth Wood, Democrat
Commissioner of Labor, Cherie Berry, Republican
State Treasurer, Janet Cowell, Democrat
Secretary of State, Elaine Marshall, Democrat
Commissioner of Agriculture, Steve Troxler, Republican
Commissioner of Insurance, Wayne Goodwin, Democrat
NCAE previously announced its support of June Atkinson's campaign to be re-elected State Superintendent of Public Instruction.
