Temecula Valley Unified School District Seats: CA Election 2020

TEMECULA, CA — Three Temecula Valley Unified School District board seats are on the ballot this year — Trustee Areas 1, 4, and 5.

Board members in Trustee Areas 1 and 5 will be elected to serve four year terms, while the Trustee Area 4 seat is a two-year term due to a vacancy and provisional appointment in August 2019.

In Trustee Area 1, incumbent Lee Darling is facing two challengers in Robert Bryant Jr. and Steve Loner. According to their candidate filings, Bryant is a youth program director; Loner is a fire department captain.

In Trustee Area 4, incumbent Julianne Kerr Farnbach is not on the ballot. Adam Skumawitz, a financial consultant/coach, is running unopposed. He previously served on the board, but resigned after less than seven months to avoid a conflict of interest when his wife began working full-time as a school counselor for the district.

In Trustee Area 5, incumbent Kristi Rutz-Robbins is not on the ballot. Voters in Area 5 will decide between Enrique Perez, Steven Schwartz, Brooklynn McClure, and Mark Katan.

Perez is a business executive/parent, Schwartz a retired teacher, McClure a parent, and Katan an executive director, according to their candidate filings.
