RE: ‘Down Ballot’ Elections

Dear Editor,

I commend Peter Rosen for his outstanding letter regarding “down ballot” elections (October 5, 2022). He is absolutely on target that these elections are very important, but often do not receive the necessary coverage to fully inform voters. I encourage voters to take the time to learn as much as possible about candidates to cast an informed vote.

As a former school superintendent in three districts, the local school board election was always critical to the future of the community as well as the future of the students. Board members will impact the future of students, who will be our future leaders. I am strongly endorsing Tina Sachs and Gary Howard for the Castro Valley USD School Board because they will provide the leadership the district needs and deserves in the future.
