Elizabeth Jonasson Rosas, Andy Levine, and Daniel Bordona are leading in the Fresno Unified School board races, according to voter ballots tallied as of 12 a.m. Wednesday.
This year, voters will decide three seats on the seven-member board: Area 2 (Roosevelt High region), Area 5 (Fresno High region) and Area 6 (Hoover High region). All three areas’ incumbents are running for reelection, and each faces one or more challengers.
Jonasson Rosas , 40, deputy general manager for external affairs at Westlands Water District who is seeking her third term to represent the Roosevelt region, leads 19-year-old Fresno State student Joseph Aquino with 68% of the vote. Aquino is a Hoover High graduate and former Fresno Unified student trustee who is running for public office for the first time.
“I’m honored that the community entrusts me with something as important as the education of their kids, and I appreciate their support in my reelection,” Jonathan Rosas said on Tuesday night. “I know that there are many things that we need to work on in the years ahead, I look forward to continuing to represent them.”
