Sunol Glen School Board: Turnbull and Newcomb Lead Contest for Two Seats

SUNOL, Alameda County — November 4, 2026. A four-candidate election for two Sunol Glen Unified School District board positions shows Rene Turnbull and Karen Ruth Newcomb holding the first two places in the unofficial count.

What the official election-night report shows

The county reports 175 votes for Rene Turnbull, 170 for Karen Ruth Newcomb, 83 for Jennifer Kavouniaris and 72 for Gagan Bassi.

What residents should know

Because voters may select up to two candidates, individual vote totals should not be interpreted as the number of people who cast ballots in the race. The board election and the district’s separate Measure K school-bond vote are distinct ballot items. The registrar lists seven of seven precincts partially reporting, and the outcome remains subject to the canvass.

Counting and certification

Alameda County labels its November 3 general-election report preliminary and unofficial; the cited snapshot was updated November 4 at 2:07 a.m. Pacific. A precinct shown as partially reporting is not proof that all mail, provisional or other eligible ballots have been canvassed. Subsequent official releases may change figures and rankings.
