Local Board Elections Return Incumbents, Add Newcomers

Michigan voters reelected two Democratic incumbents to the State Board of Education, preserving the party’s 6–2 majority. In Louisiana’s St. Tammany Parish, three school board incumbents won reelection, while another advanced to a runoff; the board’s next major task is selecting a permanent superintendent amid financial pressures. Stockton Unified’s board races point to turnover, with challengers leading incumbents in two of four contests as of Nov. 9, while incumbents led in the other two. In Altadena, preliminary results showed five Town Council incumbents returning and three candidates winning open seats, with the results awaiting certification.
