Bonnie Shatun: Candidate for L.A. County Central Committee AD 44

As a public school teacher and a Union leader with the Burbank Teachers Association (BTA), the California Teachers Association (CTA) and the National Education Association (NEA), I have been a tireless advocate for Public Education, students, educators, working families, sensible gun laws, healthcare, reproductive rights, the environment, social justice and voting rights to name some of the issues important to me. 

I served as President of BTA, an elected member of CTA’s Board of Directors, chaired our statewide PAC and am currently a member of the Board of Directors of CTA-Retired. I have volunteered to elect Democratic candidates in most elections since I was old enough to vote and I continue to work to train members on political involvement and issues and recruit them as volunteers.  I am the founding President of Action Democrats of the San Fernando Valley and also belong to Stonewall, Democrats for Israel, and North Valley, Burbank, Glendale and Heart of L.A. Democratic Clubs.

As an elected member of the Los Angeles County Democratic Central Committee since the 1980s, I’ve served on the Resolutions, Voter Protection and Candidate Interview Committees.  I have also served as a Co-Chair of the California Democratic Party Legislation and Equal Opportunities Committee, Voter Services Committee and am now working with the CDP Organizing Committee’s efforts to flip seats and regain control of the House of Representatives. We have already begun canvassing door-to-door in several targeted Districts.

I believe our most important responsibility is to work to elect outstanding candidates who share our values. Our Democracy and the issues I’ve mentioned depend on it. To that end, just in the last few election cycles, I have volunteered in person with the AFL-CIO’s Voter Protection Get-Out-the-Vote efforts in Ohio, Nevada, and Arizona, have canvassed, phone banked and cured ballots for critical local races, and volunteered in countless phonebanks talking to voters in AZ, CA, GA, NV, PA. and VA.  I have also staffed the California Democratic Party’s Voter Protection hot-line.

It's been an honor to receive CTA’s statewide Outstanding Teacher in Politics Award, Assembly and Senate Resolutions, and to have been selected as Los Angeles County Democratic Party Assembly District “Democrat of the Year” in three different districts over the years. 

I would be honored to have your support for me and the members of the Experienced Labor Solidarity Slate.
