Bonini overcomes qualifications concern and leads race for county superintendent

Second-grade school teacher Chelsea Bonini has a 410-vote lead over county board of education executive director Hector Camacho, according to early returns.

So far, the results show

Bonini 28,151 — 50.37%

Camacho 27,741 — 49.63%

Bonini ran despite lacking the correct credential for the position, as required by state law. When she signed the election paperwork saying she had the correct credential, elections chief Mark Church didn’t do any further checking. If she is elected, she could be removed from office, similar to what happened in Orange County earlier this year when the same thing happened.
