Miami Fort Lauderdale, FL, June 12, 2026 —
The candidate lists for three open Duval School Board races in Jacksonville, Florida, have been finalized following the conclusion of the qualifying period. These elections are notable as all three incumbent members are either term-limited or have chosen not to seek re-election, paving the way for potentially competitive contests.
Fundraising efforts have been significant in some of these districts. The upcoming races are being observed within the broader context of Governor Ron DeSantis’s influence on education policy and the engagement of the advocacy group Moms for Liberty, which has been actively working to support the election of conservative school board members.
The specific outcomes of these races are anticipated to reflect ongoing discussions and priorities within the local school system, influenced by state-level political trends and parental advocacy groups.
