Election Day: November 3, 2026
Experienced leadership
I know this district because I have been showing up for it for more than 15 years—as a parent, volunteer, and community advocate, and now as the current President of the LUHSD Board of Education. As the mother of five LUHSD graduates, my commitment to our schools is deeply personal and rooted in years of firsthand experience.
For the past three and a half years, I have been doing this work every day—building institutional knowledge, strengthening working relationships, and staying present across our school communities. I am seeking re-election because there is still important work to be done, and I am prepared to keep serving with focus, accountability, and a steady commitment to students, families, staff, and taxpayers.

Fiscal responsibility means protecting classrooms while planning for uncertainty. I supported balanced, positive-certified budgets that keep our district stable, maintain a responsible 5.00% reserve for Economic Uncertainty—$6,763,532—and direct dollars into programs that improve student achievement.
One throughline guides this work: safe, focused, connected students are more confident—and better able to learn. Our work on campus security, a phone-free school day, responsible AI use, and cybersecurity all protects essential learning and prepares students for a fast-changing world.
I believe students deserve multiple pathways to success. My involvement in career education began before I joined the board through service on Liberty Union Career Technical Education Committee. As a trustee, I continued supporting opportunities that prepare students for college, skilled careers and the workforce.
Rooted in our community
Liberty Union High School District serves more than 8,000 students across our community. Under Tamara's leadership, the graduation rate rose by 0.2 percentage points to 93.5%. She remains focused on ensuring every student has the academic support, opportunities, and pathways they need to graduate prepared for what comes next.
