Opposition
Three of the five seats on the Renton Board of Directors were up for general election on November 3, 2015. Initially, all three incumbents up for re-election filed to seek new terms on the board, but one later withdrew from the race.
District 1 incumbent Todd Franceschina saw one challenger file to run against him, Sarah Sanoy-Wright; however, Sanoy-Wright withdrew from the race leaving Franceschina to win re-election without opposition. District 3 incumbent Lynn Desmarais, meanwhile, defeated challenger Larry Wright on the ballot.[1]
Initially, District 4 incumbent Denise Eider initially filed to seek re-election and would have faced challenger Larry Crim on the ballot. Eider, however, withdrew from the race which would have left Crim unopposed.[1] After the filing period, it was discovered that Crim did not live within the boundaries of the District 4 seat. He also withdrew from the race, necessitating a special filing period for the election. Gloria Hodge was the only person to file for the race during that time and won the seat unopposed.[3]

Sanoy-Wright's campaign website listed the following issues:
- Protect Our Economy
- Excerpt: "Private sector jobs are the most vital to our economy. A new direction for job creation in Washington State. Limiting taxes and unnecessary regulation to help our businesses prosper will get us back on the road to prosperity so they can hire more workers.

- Excerpt: "A new direction for Washington State's public schools. While education is state government’s paramount duty, support for our public schools is not the state's top budget priority. It’s time to change that, with no excuses. As the state budget grows over time, as it surely will, we need to prioritize those new funds toward our kids’ futures through our K-12 system as well as our colleges and universities."
