State Senator and State Superintendent hopeful Gloria Romero, D-Los Angeles, is spending a part of today job shadowing a school employee as part of SEIU California's requirement that statewide office candidates seeking the union's backing, "Walk in My Shoes."
Here's the top of the union's press release:
Office seekers in California who want SEIU members' endorsements will be going to work with SEIU members in the coming weeks and doing their work with them. The program, "Walk A Day In My Shoes," is part of an effort to ensure that every candidate endorsed by the union has direct experience and understanding of a union member's work. SEIU members are asking candidates for Governor, Lt. Governor, State Superintendent for Public Instruction, and State Attorney General to walk a day in their shoes by joining them at home and their work places.
Romero is spending 3 1/2 hours at South Gate Middle School in Southgate. Her rival, Larry Aceves, has already spent time at another middle school. Nine other candidates for various offices are scheduled to do the same sort of thing in the coming weeks.
