Elections are pivotal not only for the new leaders they bring in, but also for the eventual appointments those leaders make. These changes have cascading effects on policymaking at the state level, which is why we track state-level elections every year. This one-pager, updated for 2022, captures the results of this year’s elections.
For more detail on this year’s races and the resulting impact, see these two posts on Ed Note:
- 2022 Elections Outcomes and Implications for State Education Policy
