Laura Fuchs

I have served in a wide variety of union and community leadership settings since 2009. I started as a SCAC and LSAT member at HD Woodson, eventually joining Personnel. I served as an unofficial Alt-Rep, assisting our Building Rep if they were out. I then became Building Rep on and off for several years.

In 2014 WTU President Elizabeth Davis tapped me to chair and rebuild the WTU Committee on Political Education (COPE). I led the committee for 10 years. During that time President Davis asked me to serve on her 2nd slate and run for WTU President as a Member At Large from High School (2016-2019). The next term I ran on her slate as WTU Secretary, a role I serve on through (2019-Today). I have also attended two AFT Conferences as a Delegate, writing 2 motions that were presented in committee and getting one of those passed through to the National level.

I also have served on multiple Ward education council Boards (both for Ward 5 and 7), I am the Current Secretary Empower DC Executive Board - Member of SHAPPE, Ward 5 and 7 Education Councils and a representative on the Coalition for DC Public Schools
