She's a "strong union member." That's the NEA which does NOT reflect Republicanism. Landmark Foundation (Mark Levine) currently has a law suit against this union because it illegaly files zero as the amount it spends on political donations. This union donates millions of dollars to political causes....99% of which are to democrats. Linda Chavez has a new book out about all of this.
Addendum: If the NEA correctly listed its political donations to the IRS, its tax exempt status would be pulled. It would have to pay taxes...which it currently does not.
