2016
Two of the seven seats on the Hillsborough County Public Schools Board of Education were up for general election on November 8, 2016. District 5 incumbent Doretha Edgecomb did not file for re-election, and five candidates vied for her seat on the board in the by-district primary election on August 30, 2016: Joe Jordon-Robinson, Lynette Judge, Jacqueline Leeks, Tarance LeNoir, and Tamara Shamburger. Neither Jordon-Robinson nor Shamburger received more than 50 percent of the votes, and both advanced to the general election. Shamburger emerged victorious. In District 7, incumbent Carol Kurdell also did not file for re-election, and eight candidates competed for the seat in the primary: Joseph Caetano, Alan Clendenin, Norene Miller, Carlos Frontela, Lynn Gray, Stanley Gray, Catherine James, and Randy Toler. James and Lynn Gray advanced to the general election, and Gray won the seat. The District 1 and District 3 seats were also on the primary ballot. District 1 incumbent Susan Valdes faced one challenger to her seat: Bill Person. In District 3, incumbent Cindy Stuart was up against newcomer Alicia Toler. Both Valdes and Stuart won re-election outright when they defeated their challengers by receiving more than 50 percent of the votes cast in the primary. [1][2]
