The National Education Association (NEA) is the largest special interest group dedicated to representing a group of professionals. With an annual budget in the hundreds of millions and a membership just shy of 3 million people this interest group’s support in a political campaign holds major weight for the candidate seeking office. Barack Obama received significant support from the NEA in both the 2008 and 2012 elections due to his stances on education regarding support of Teacher’s Unions and to increase the education budget.
