Do You Vote in MVUSD Trustee Area 1?
Murrieta Valley Unified elects its Board of Trustees by area. That means only voters who live inside Trustee Area 1 cast a ballot for the Area 1 seat. Here is how to confirm your area in a few minutes — and what that vote decides for our schools.

Experience in Murrieta classrooms, homes, and community
My focus is on two proven policy priorities — Career Technical Education and Graduate Ready standards — that cut across every pillar of this campaign and put student achievement first.
- 21 years teaching MVUSD students
- Murrieta parent & 26-year resident
- USMC military family — husband retired veteran
- Built career pathways through collaborative leadership within a school and across the district

Three steps to confirm your trustee area
Every step below points to an official source. We do not guess your district for you — these tools give you the answer of record.
1. Confirm your voter registration
Check that your registration is active and lists your current home address. Your address — not where your child attends school — determines which trustee area you vote in.

The Riverside County Registrar of Voters shows every district and contest tied to your address. If the Murrieta Valley Unified School District Trustee Area 1 seat appears, you are an Area 1 voter.

Who is eligible to vote
You can vote for the Area 1 trustee seat if you are a United States citizen, at least 18 years old on Election Day, registered to vote in Riverside County, and your home address falls inside Murrieta Valley Unified Trustee Area 1. You do not need to have a child in the district — every resident of the area votes in this contest. The next general election is Tuesday, November 3, 2026.
Live in another Murrieta trustee area? Your voice still counts. You can't cast the Area 1 ballot, but you can talk to friends and family who can, host a meet & greet, display a sign, or volunteer — see below.

Every area, one Murrieta
Only Area 1 votes for this seat — every Murrieta family lives with the result
Board decisions on budgets, programs, safety, and career pathways reach every school in the district, not just Area 1 campuses. If you live in Areas 2 through 5, you cannot cast the Area 1 ballot — but you can still make this win happen:
- Host a coffee or meet-and-greet and invite your Area 1 friends and neighbors
- Donate a lawn for a yard sign where city rules allow
- Forward the campaign page to family and coworkers who vote in Area 1
- Volunteer for phone banking, walking, or event setup
- Share the campaign link and QR code on social media with #EveryAreaOneMurrieta
- Sign up for campaign updates so you never miss a session
