Elections
2016
Three of the five seats on the San Diego Unified School District Board of Education were up for general election on November 8, 2016. A primary election for all three seats was held on June 7, 2016. In his bid for re-election in District A, incumbent John Lee Evans faced challenger Stephen Groce. District D incumbent Richard Barrera ran unopposed. Incumbent Sharon Whitehurst-Payne, who was appointed to the District E seat in February 2016 after former member Marne Foster pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge and resigned from the board, ran for re-election against challenger Lashae Collins. Because no more than two candidates ran in each race, all the candidates who ran in the primary advanced to the general election.[2][3] All three incumbents won re-election in the general election.[4]
