The 2026 elections have high stakes for public schools across Lancaster County. We have real opportunities to elect people who will make public education issues one of their top priorities, whether in the state capitol or in Washington DC.
Our list of recommended candidates for the November election is coming soon.
Are you running for office representing a district in Lancaster County? Are you a 2026 candidate who supports public education and wants to apply for a PEAL recommendation? Submit an application for recommendation by September 30th.
It takes work to get out the vote. Campaigns need our help to reach voters.
