Sonja Shaw, who is currently a school board president in San Bernadino County, emerged on top in the June 2 primary to advance to the General Election, which is Nov. 2. Not only did Shaw advance to the General Election, she led the 10-person statewide ballot to win the largest percentage of votes, 25%, despite being a target of Democrats and the state teachers’ union, the California Teachers Association. The second-place finisher, who also advanced to the General Election, is Richard Barrera.
