Corn thanked her supporters for their dedicated work knocking on doors, putting up yard signs, talking to neighbors, donating money, hosting house parties, and, most importantly, voting. The support of our educator unions made a huge difference to my campaign, and I am humbled by our educators' enthusiastic support of my candidacy.
Berkeley Federation of Teachers President Matt Meyers said that his union was thrilled with the results of this school board's election. Both Ana and Jen are both currently BUSD parents who support and appreciate our work and treat educators as professionals.
Corn, now the Director of School Improvement at Oakland Unified, outspent the other candidates in the race and, in addition to Vasudeo, was endorsed by the Berkeley Federation of Teachers.
Babitt's failure to secure an endorsement from the powerful teachers union, as she did in 2020, may be decisive. While Babitt was endorsed by nearly every member of the Berkeley City Council, the union's endorsement has gone to the winners in at least the last nine school board elections.
