More reasons to vote for Michelle Flanigan

From an active teacher (on Facebook)

March 21, 2024 
I’m the president of my local teachers’ union. Michelle Flanigan was gracious enough to speak at our March meeting last night.

I would like to say, Michelle DAndrea Flanigan is an AMAZING educator! She has immersed herself in learning everything she can about OUR retirement system. I had veteran teachers at my meeting last night that were beyond thankful that she broke so many facets of our retirement down into conversation we all understood.

Comments from others: 

This is such a great endorsement! Yes, Michelle is the best candidate, hands-down. Thank you for helping so much with our reform cause.

Hello to those eligible to vote this election!!!!

Active and those on disability who are eligible to vote please do not give up on our reform members now!!! We are so close to change and we cannot do this if you give up. You have to vote for Michelle DAndrea Flanigan!! Don’t throw those ballots away because you are feeling defeated by today’s voting. 

This eIection is not about feelings. I wholeheartedly believe the reform members are working for us but their hands are tied until they are a majority. There is obviously soooo much more we are not privy to at this point that they can’t talk about, but I absolutely believe they will not abandon us. I hope and pray that even though you are discouraged, do not give up on them now! Don’t you think that is what the nonreform board people want? Do NOT let them win by not voting!!! Let’s get through this vote together people!!! 

We are a solid force to be reckoned with and cannot let anything set us back at this final hour. Together we are strong and we have fought tooooo long to throw in the towel now. Now is the time to step up to the plate and help the team hit a homerun! I know I personally am ramping up my efforts to inform everyone I can reach to vote for Michelle! I hope you do the same. Let’s post those efforts on this page to encourage others across the state to get the word out! I’m in Cuyahoga county specifically CMSD. What district or county can you help get the word out?

Thanks for listening to my Pep Ted talk!

Amen Amen Amen. What a nice way to remind every STRS member to be sure to vote when the ballots arrive in your mailbox. Now is the time for us reform-minded members to stand up a take control of our pension.

She is truly a class act! NOT ONCE did she speak ill will regarding anyone. Her meeting with us did not include one political shadow. She stuck to facts that educated us, and truly proved that she has a forward vision to help both active and retired teachers ALL THE SAME!

Our members were SO thankful to have her join us. The Brunswick teachers are so lucky to have such an educated, selfless human on their staff, willing to fight for every single one of them!

I STRONGLY recommend anyone in a leadership role with your union to reach out to Michelle and see if you can snag her for a quick meeting! You will not regret it!

My two cents: THIS GAL ROCKS! Vote for Michelle!
