The Montgomery County Education Association (MCEA), which represents MCPS teachers, has endorsed four County Council Members running for reelection: Craig Rice (District 2), Nancy Navarro (District 4), Tom Hucker (District 5) and Hans Riemer (At-Large).\u00a0 The only Council Member running for reelection this year who has not been endorsed by MCEA is Sidney Katz (District 3).\u00a0 The union has previously endorsed Katz’s opponent, Ben Shnider.<\/p>\n

Also, MCEA has not endorsed in the County Executive race and may ultimately not do so.\u00a0 That would echo the 2006 Executive primary, when neither Ike Leggett nor Steve Silverman could reach the union’s 58% threshold for support in its Representative Assembly.<\/p>\n

We reprint MCEA’s press release below.<\/p>\n
