Editor’s Note: This story initially reported incorrectly that Joshua Sellers was an incumbent in the Area 1 race.
There may be two new faces on the Central Unified School Board as a result of Tuesday’s elections.
Four seats — Areas 1, 2, 4, and 7 — were up for election. Area 7 incumbent Naindeep Singh Chann faced no opposition in the election, and incumbent Yesenia Carrillo in Area 2 had a substantial lead over her challenger in the vote returns reported late Tuesday. Carrillo, who faced two challengers, had 58.6%, accountant Kelvin L. Ashford had 28.6%, and radio announcer Erik “Danny” Salas had 12.2%.
In the open Area 1 seat, firefighter Joshua Sellers had an overwhelming lead of 74.3% over Realtor Michelle Sweeney with 25.1%. They were running to replace former Trustee Jason Paul, who opted not to run for re-election.
In the Area 4 race, incumbent Shawn M. Brooks was losing to district director Nabil Kherfan. Kherfan had 56.8% to Brooks’ 42%.
Tuesday night Kherfan said he and his volunteers had worked hard to introduce him to the area’s voters.
“I canvassed the area three times myself,” said Kherfan, who works for Fresno City Councilman Tyler Maxwell. “I think voters know they want change, and I feel confident with tonight.”
The Fresno County Elections Office still has thousands of ballots that were put in drop boxes or mailboxes by Tuesday yet to count, and the final tallies likely won’t be known until later this month.
