Once upon a time, Eric Swalwell was endorsed for governor by all of the “Big Three” of California’s establishment: the California Teachers’ Association (CTA), the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), and the California Hospital Association (CHA).

Yet, in the next legislative session, almost all of those newly elected officeholders voted for an anti-charter-school bill sponsored by the California Teachers Association (CTA).
