Elections
2016
Four of the seven seats on the Twin Rivers Unified School District Board of Trustees were up for general election on June 7, 2016. The Trustee Area 1 election was canceled due to lack of opposition. Incumbent Michael Baker was unopposed in his bid for re-election, so he was automatically appointed to another term. In Trustee Area 3, incumbent Walter Garcia Kawamoto was defeated by challenger Ramona Landeros. Incumbent Sonja Cameron did not file to keep her Trustee Area 5 seat. Michelle Deleon and Basim Elkarra ran to fill that open seat. Elkarra, who unsuccessfully ran for the seat in a recall election in 2015, won the election. The Trustee Area 7 race featured incumbent Linda Fowler and challengers Francisco Garcia and Daniel Savala. Fowler won re-election.[1][2]
