Early election returns contain hopeful news for a group of candidates looking to upend the status quo on the Stockton Unified School District Board of Trustees.
With 79,242 ballots counted, the candidates who belong to an unofficial “reform slate” were leading all four of the SUSD board elections. The current board has dealt with several legal issues, including a violation of the Brown Act and two negative grand jury reports in as many years.
Two seats are being contested in the Lincoln Unified School District. Votes will likely be counted for days, and most of the early returns are mail-in ballots.

I can’t believe that the 209 Times guy was running for office! 👎
Now, hopefully, Anthony Silva and his delusional cohorts can go away quietly into the night and crawl under a rock for the next few decades. Anthony is nothing but a vehicle of destruction and wreckage. His selfish, narcissistic mentality has laid waste to Stockton from the moment he signed his name to run for his first public office. Go riddance!
