Indy 2016 filing-window roster piece. Primary-source documentation of Peggy Wolff's first LBUSD candidacy + earliest documented Hills candidacy artifact (with Young's 4/29/2016 backgrounder).

Key points

  • 2016 cycle structure: two open seats; Vickers (then board clerk) seeking reelection; Hills and Wolff as first-time contenders; outgoing Board President William Landsiedel not seeking reelection.
  • Wolff's 2016 candidate statement listed SchoolPower board + endowment-board service among her qualifications — establishing the SchoolPower-trustee-to-LBUSD-trustee pipeline 8 years before the current FUEL/Sensible Laguna debate.
  • Hills described as "constitutional lawyer and author" with $11,000 in contributions through 8/8/2016 and a door-to-door approach.
  • Wolff's other qualifications: Thurston Middle PTA president; Laguna Beach High Scholarship Foundation board; nine years on LB PTA Council leadership (technology chair).
  • Mid-term trustees not facing 2016 reelection (election 2018): Ketta Brown, Dee Perry, Carol Normandin.
