Congratulations to Commissioners Jane Kim, Hydra Mendoza, and Kim-Shree Maufas

Congratulations to the winners of the 2006 BOE race, Jane Kim, Hydra Mendoza, and Kim-Shree Maufas. With the departure of Eddie Chin, Sarah Lipson, and Dan Kelly one thing is certain — the BOE will get an injection of new blood and new ideas.

The Chron caught up with the winners in Jill Tucker's election wrap-up. They quote winner Jane Kim saying "I think I'm going to bring a lot of energy on the board." Hydra Mendoza was quoted, "I'm excited. I ran on my experience and qualifications, and I think it's going to pay off." Kim-Shree Maufas, who lost her voice, celebrated her victory by texting her mom: "XLNT, i 1"

As Commissioner Eric Mar said in a comment on the SfSchools list
The election of Kim, Maufus and Mendoza, 3 new strong progressive women of color, to the board will strengthen our progressive voice in support of equity, immigrant and language rights, and educational justice.
Time will tell if the new candidates really will make Eric's agenda their own. One thing is clear, we will have new faces and new ideas on board to attack the many challenges facing our district. Good luck to them all.

Jane Kim44,558
Hydra Mendoza 41,564

Hi K.C. Two of the three biggest spenders, Mendoza and Kim, won. Kim Shree-Maufus either didn't declare or she didn't raise funds.
