TEMECULA, CA — Three Temecula Valley Unified School District board seats were on the ballot this year — Trustee Areas 1, 4, and 5. Election Night vote counting is complete and, although results are not final, leaders emerged. (See the live tallies below.)

In Trustee Area 1, Fire Department Captain Steve Loner is ahead of fellow challenger Robert Bryant Jr., a youth program director. Both men are hoping to unseat incumbent Lee Darling, who lags well behind. In Trustee Area 4, Adam Skumawitz, a financial consultant/coach, ran unopposed. In Trustee Area 5, Steven Schwartz is leading the race, with Enrique Perez and Brooklynn McClure not out of the contest. Mark Katan is trailing the three front runners. Trustee Area 5 incumbent Kristi Rutz-Robbins was not on the ballot.

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

The results are not final. Approximately 400,000 vote-by-mail and 25,000 provisional ballots still must be processed. Work on those began Wednesday morning. Ballots that are postmarked on or before Election Day also remain to be counted. The next updated results will be posted at 6 p.m. Thursday.
