After one four-year term on the Morgan Hill Unified School District’s Board of Trustees, local resident Gino Borgioli will vie for a spot on the Santa Clara County Board of Education.
Borgioli confirmed Tuesday that he will not seek re-election in Morgan Hill and instead will run against county incumbent Claudia Rossi, a former MHUSD board member, in the Nov. 6 election. Rossi won the county board seat from then-incumbent Julia Hover-Smoot , another former MHUSD trustee, in 2014.
Rossi and Borgioli will vie for the seat that represents South County on the county board of education.
Heather Orosco is currently the only candidate for Borgioli’s Trustee Area 3 seat on the Morgan Hill board, although the filing period for that race was extended to Aug. 15 since the incumbent isn’t running.
The other four MHUSD trustee area races have at least two candidates, and possibility more to come during the extension period (which concluded after the Times’ Aug. 14 print deadline).
In Area 1, in which incumbent Donna Ruebusch is not seeking re-election, Peter Mandel, Emma Nunez and Wendy Sullivan filed with the county registrar’s office.
In Area 2, with incumbent Ron Woolf not running, the four candidates listed are John Horner, James Dill, Enrique Navarro-Donnellan and Tara Bevington.
In Area 4, in which incumbent David Gerard did not file, the race will be between Robert Guynn and Jill Provencal.
In Area 5, where Tom Arnett resigned with two years left on his term, two candidates who have emerged are Vanessa Sutter and Angelica Diaz.
Candidates filed as of Aug. 13
