Emeryville School Board: Chagolla, Solis and Allen Lead Five-Candidate Field

EMERYVILLE, Alameda County — November 4, 2026. Five candidates are competing for three Emery Unified School District governing-board positions, with Regina Chagolla, Kimberly Solis and Christopher Keith Allen leading.

What the official election-night report shows

The Alameda County report shows 1,375 votes for Regina Chagolla, 1,005 for Kimberly Solis, 911 for Christopher Keith Allen, 569 for David Ridlehuber and 494 for Brian Donahue.

What residents should know

The third-highest tally is important because the ballot fills three seats. Residents should distinguish this school-district election from the separate Emeryville City Council contest. Three votes per voter were allowed, so candidate-selection percentages are not turnout statistics. The count remains unofficial.

Counting and certification

Alameda County labels its November 3 general-election report preliminary and unofficial; the cited snapshot was updated November 4 at 2:07 a.m. Pacific. A precinct shown as partially reporting is not proof that all mail, provisional or other eligible ballots have been canvassed. Subsequent official releases may change figures and rankings.
