Most of APS board Backed by union money

Currently, six of seven APS board members are backed by the district's teacher union. In the most recent election, the Albuquerque Teachers Federation contributed $5,000 to each of it's favorites, helping make them the best-funded candidates in the race. According to the Bernalillo County Clerk’s Office, about 18,000 people cast ballots in the last APS board election – 6.6 % turnout.
