Election results are unofficial and will be certified on or before April 4th. However, these are the results for the SDEA endorsed candidates as of election day. Any changes to these presumed results will be updated and shared.
Sabrina Bazzo, the SDEA endorsed incumbent, defeated challenger Crystal Trull in the race for sub-district A on the SDUSD School Board. The SDEA PAC campaign included a series of direct mailers to residents in the sub-district in support of Bazzo. Additionally, our labor allies from the SD Building Trades Council organized a neighborhood canvas to aid in the reelection efforts of Sabrina as a governing board member. Neither Richard Barrera or Sharon Whitehurst-Payne faced a challenger in the primary campaign and will move onto the general election unopposed. The SDEA campaign to reelect Sabrina will continue in the fall. Member participation in our political efforts will be essential to ensure success.
In the San Diego City Council races, SDEA endorsed candidate Sean-Elo Rivera, representing District 9, had an impressive election day win and will move on to the general election. Marni Von-Wilpert in District 5 did not have a primary challenger and was re-elected to her council seat. In a tight race, it appears that Coleen Cusack will advance to the general election for the District 3 council seat.
