Primary elections will begin on February 14, 2022. TPEA encourages you and your fellow TPEA members, state employees and retirees to get involved. It is important that we elect candidates who have state employee and retiree issues at the top of their agendas. State employee and retirees' votes matter, and we need your help in showing up at candidate's events. Here are some links and tools to get you started:
