TUSD Governing Board (2 seats) – too close to call for 2nd seat

• Jennifer Eckstrom, incumbent 73,163

• Tre’Davon Rhodes 43,265
• Val Romero, incumbent 43,392
• Pilar Acosta Ruiz 45,799

I’ll be updating only the close races, due to counting of provisional ballots which usually takes a week in Arizona. So stay tuned. UPDATE 11/4/26: Only race that seems too close to call is the 2nd seat on TUSD Bd.

Congrats to the Dem winners, so far.

11/4 update: Tucson Sentinel reporting 80,000 ballots left to be counted in Pima County alone. Some of these outcomes could change. Stay tuned, another long week. https://www.tucsonsentinel.com/local/report/110426_pima_vote_count/pima-county-shifts-course-counting-ballots-weds-with-80k-or-more-left-tally/

11/5 update: Just more votes for TUSD candidates, no change in status of 2nd seat, Pilar Acosta Ruiz on top. Incumbent Jennifer Eckstrom likely winner for 1st seat. 11/6 same status, more votes tallied. Only 127 votes now between incumbent Val Romero and Tre Rhodes but they are in 3rd and 4th places.
