John Sbrana won the one-year term race against Donald Carter Jr.[9][10]
Cardona, Holmes, and Carter graduated from Vineland High School in the spring of 2015. All three ran together as a slate under the slogan "Revitalizing Vineland's Education." They supported each other's campaigns and asked voters to put all of them on the board. If any of them had been elected, they would have become the district's youngest members to ever serve on the board.[10]
