It’s official – I am very excited to announce that I have been endorsed by two amazing organizations:
The Coalition for Effective School Board Leadership and the San Diego County Democratic Party, both this week.

In their endorsement press release they remarked,
“Darshana Patel, who has an extensive science and engineering background, will bring a positive and collaborative attitude to the role of school board trustee. She is known for
the combination of her evidence-based decision making and the ability to lead by consensus. A parent, school district volunteer, and past president of the Rancho Peñasquitos Town Council, Patel is a civic-minded, well-respected, and well-informed community leader. She has a solid understanding of the district’s curricular and funding priorities and believes in keeping the focus on education when making decisions. Patel will bring a steady hand to the school board. Coalition member Scott Fisher noted, ‘I trust Darshana Patel to effectively navigate the waters of Poway Unified during the coming years.’ “

I am honored to have the SDCDP endorsement since I have been a lifelong Democrat and our views on education policy are aligned.
