(KMJ) The race for Fresno County Superintendent of Schools is heating up. KMJ’s Philip Teresi has been covering the campaigns of the top candidates, incumbent Dr. Michele Cantwell-Copher and challenger Dr. Eimear O’Brien, the former Superintendent of Clovis Unified schools. Both of them joined Philip in studio recently to outline their priorities:
Dr. Johnny Alvarado is also running for the office that oversees more than 30 school districts and 200,000+ students. He has not responded to our offer for an interview.
The election will be held as part of the June 2, 2026 consolidated statewide primary election.
Mail-in ballots will arrive in early May.
