Incumbent Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education President Kelly Gonez, who represents a large swath of San Fernando Valley, was in a surprisingly tight battle against a largely unknown candidate, and the race to replace termed-out board member Mónica García was close in semi-official results released by the Los Angeles County registrar on Thursday, Nov. 10.
The semi-official results show Gonez at 50.94%, and her rival, Marvin A. Rodriguez, at 49.06%. And in District 2, Maria Brenes is at 50.17% and Rocio Rivas is at 49.83%. Gonez squared off on Nov. 8 against high school teacher Marvin Rodriguez, who finished second in the June primary. Rodriguez is a veteran teacher and former Marine who said he wants to improve lines of communication between the district and the community.
Rocio Rivas and Maria Brenes were neck-and-neck in their race to succeed García. The race likely won’t be finalized for days or even weeks, as vote-by-mail ballots continue to be tallied. Rivas squared off Tuesday with Brenes, founder of the InnerCity Struggle advocacy group, who finished second in June.
Nothing surprising about this since Gones sold out to charter schools and is doing her best to dismantle public education. Her rise to board President is definitely fishy.
