National
Education researchers Kristina Brezicha and Alyssa Hadley Dunn have outlined four research-based strategies to help school districts prepare for political crises and support educators, students, and families during periods of uncertainty. Drawing on research into schools' responses to the January 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection, the authors found that many teachers received little or no administrative guidance, leaving them to navigate difficult classroom discussions independently. Their recommendations emphasize clear and consistent communication from superintendents, mental health and well-being support for school staff, flexibility for educators to respond to evolving situations, and shared responsibility between teachers and administrators. The authors argue that school leaders should acknowledge uncertainty, encourage collaboration, and provide practical resources rather than leaving individual teachers to manage politically sensitive events alone. Ahead of today's midterm elections, they stress that proactive leadership can strengthen institutional trust, resilience, and schools' ability to support their communities.

California
Democrat Xavier Becerra is projected to become California’s next governor after defeating Republican Steve Hilton, inheriting significant education policy and funding challenges. Beginning January 1, a governor-appointed education commissioner will assume management of the California Department of Education, replacing the elected superintendent’s administrative authority. Becerra has not announced his commissioner selection or a comprehensive school improvement strategy but supports tuition-free community colleges, early childhood education, teacher investment and protections for DACA students. The former U.S. health secretary and California attorney general will also confront school district deficits, college affordability and expectations surrounding educational investments established under Governor Gavin Newsom. His opponent advocated expanded school choice, stricter educator accountability and revised literacy requirements. Endorsed by the California Teachers Association, Becerra faces pressure to sustain educational progress while navigating financial constraints and a significant restructuring of state education governance.

Texas
Democrat Gina Hinojosa defeated three-term Republican Governor Greg Abbott, becoming Texas’ first Latina governor and ending more than three decades of Republican control of the governorship. Despite being outspent by approximately four to one, Hinojosa built her campaign around strengthening public education, addressing affordability and limiting corporate influence. The former school board president and state representative pledged to eliminate Abbott’s $1bn private school voucher program, reform school accountability, regulate data centers and provide $1,500 payments to Texas households. Abbott, who conceded Tuesday evening, defended his record on economic growth, property-tax reductions and school choice. Hinojosa emphasized bipartisan cooperation, declaring, “We did not end one era of single party rule to usher in another.” Her victory represents a significant political shift, although her ability to implement reforms will depend on the composition of the state legislature and other statewide offices.

Florida
Republican Byron Donalds defeated Democrat David Jolly in Florida’s closely contested gubernatorial election, becoming the state’s first Black governor. Backed by President Donald Trump and substantial campaign funding, Donalds secured victory despite growing Republican dissatisfaction with Trump over gas prices and the Iran war. The 48-year-old former finance professional and congressman emphasized inflation, housing affordability and insurance costs while pledging to continue outgoing Governor Ron DeSantis’ conservative policies. Jolly, a former Republican congressman who became a Democrat, campaigned under the slogan “believe in better,” criticizing Donalds’ financial ties to the AI data center industry. Donalds responded to industry concerns by introducing legislation requiring data centers to generate their own power and water. The election highlighted Florida’s Republican registration advantage, with approximately 1.5m more Republicans than Democrats and 3.3m unaffiliated voters.
