## Resource

Noel Candelaria, a former El Paso teacher and longtime education union leader, has been elected vice president of the National Education Association — the nation’s largest educator union — bringing with him a proven track record of fighting for students, teachers, and equity. After six years as NEA secretary-treasurer and two terms leading Texas’ largest teachers’ union, Candelaria helped secure historic funding boosts for public schools and championed immigrant families, including DACA recipients. Now, alongside newly elected president Princess R. Moss and secretary-treasurer Robert Varela Rodriguez, he’s poised to lead a national push for racial justice, teacher support, and equal opportunity for every student — starting September 1.
