Spease Earns Endorsement of Elk Grove School Board President in Mayoral Bid

August 19, 2016 |

Elk Grove Mayoral candidate Kevin Spease announced today he received the endorsement of the President of the Elk Grove Unified School District Board of Trustees. 

“I’m standing with Kevin Spease. He gives to the community, and supports school literacy programs,” Bobbie Singh-Allen, President of the EGUSD Trustees said. “He is the right choice for Elk Grove Mayor.”

Singh-Allen has served on the EGUSD Board of Trustees since her 2012 appointment and was unopposed in her 2014 election to a four year term. Singh-Allen served on the board with Elk Grove Vice Mayor and Mayoral candidate Steve Ly for two years. 

Ly left the EGUSD in 2014 when he was elected to the Elk Grove City Council. Singh-Allen has been elected by her fellow board colleagues twice in the last four years to serve as President of the Board 

“I am honored by the support from Bobbie and so many of our education leaders,” Spease said. “I want to work with them to find new ways the City can help support education and make our schools better and safer.”

Spease, a current Elk Grove Planning Commissioner, is one of seven candidates seeking to become the city's next directly elected mayor.
