Voter guide

Background, stated goals, record, and money

Goals come from the campaign's own platform. Record lines are official actions.

How this guide is built

Background comes from official records, and from the campaign's own biography where the bullet says so; goals are summarized from the campaign's own platform and stay attributed; the record lines are official actions with the government source attached; money is shown as filed, with the filings it covers in the note under the table, and is not evidence of why any position was taken.

Contributions from political committees on lines 11B (party committees), 11C (other political committees) and 12 (transfers from joint fundraising committees) of his committee's 2025-2026 cycle filings through June 30, 2026, grouped by the FEC's recorded organisation type or designation of the contributing committee. Each line reconciles to the committee's own filed total: nothing on line 11B, 190,098.39 dollars on line 11C (the itemised rows sum three cents lower) and 57,917.02 dollars on line 12. The rows sum to 248,015.38 dollars, which is a part of what his committee reports raising and not its total. Donations individuals made through ActBlue are individual contributions and are not in the table.

What they say

“As a school board trustee, I have fought for and successfully raised wages for our teachers, custodians, nutritional workers and bus drivers”

What the record shows ·

The Visalia Unified board raised both units' pay while he sat on it, and he voted for every agreement with them that came to a vote while he was present, all unanimously. In his first year he seconded the classified employees' 2022-23 agreement (June 28, 2022), which adjusted their salary schedule for the state minimum wage, raised it a further 6.4 per cent and paid $3,500 once to staff working six hours a day or more, pro-rated for others. He moved the teachers' 2023-24 agreement, which raised all certificated salary schedules 10 per cent (May 9, 2023), and voted for the classified employees' 2023-24 agreement, which raised their schedule 9.25 per cent (June 13, 2023); the classified unit includes custodians, cafeteria workers and bus drivers. The 2025-26 agreements added 1.25 per cent for teachers (May 23, 2025) and 0.76 per cent for classified staff (June 10, 2025). The 2024-25 agreements, which he also voted for and one of which he seconded, kept both units' 2023-24 salary schedules and gave each one fewer work day at the same pay. He also voted for two smaller classified agreements on consent: more paid hours and days for cafeteria staff (December 12, 2023), and a raise of at least 5 per cent for nutrition-services delivery staff from January 2025 (November 19, 2024). He was absent for three agreement votes: the teachers' 2022-23 agreement on July 19, 2022, a 7.56 per cent increase to all salary schedules with a $2,500 one-time payment for full-time staff, and both 2026-27 agreements, on June 9 and June 11, 2026, each approved 5-0 with two trustees absent: 3.25 per cent for teachers, and 1.85 per cent plus a $1,000 one-time payment for classified staff.

Limit: Wages did rise by board vote while he served, and his votes were for every raise that reached him. But every one of those votes was unanimous, and the minutes summarise motions and roll calls rather than debate, so they cannot show that he fought for the raises any more than his six colleagues did. The raises were negotiated by the district with the unions; a trustee's part is the vote.

What they say

His campaign's home page says it takes no corporate PAC money.

“No Corporate PACs. Just People Like You.”

What the record shows ·

His committee's filings for the 2025-2026 cycle through June 30, 2026 list 80 contributions from other political committees on line 11C, totalling 190,098.36 dollars, three transfers from two joint fundraising committees on line 12, totalling 57,917.02 dollars, and nothing from party committees. The FEC records an organisation type for nine of the contributing committees, five labour organisations and four membership organisations, and none as a corporation. The rest are leadership PACs, other candidates' campaign committees and PACs with no sponsoring organisation. The joint fundraising committees' own itemised donors passed through to him are individuals and two political committees, neither recorded as a corporation's PAC.

Limit: The test is the FEC's own record of each contributing committee: a PAC a corporation sponsors is registered with organisation type Corporation, and none of his is. The leadership PACs and other members' campaigns that gave to him can take corporate PAC money themselves, which the claim does not address, and spending by outside groups is not money his campaign received. The record runs to June 30, 2026; the October quarterly report is not yet due.

In the October 6 KGET debate, Villegas said the school board he serves on achieved real results, including higher graduation rates.

Visalia Unified's graduation rate rose from 90.8% in 2021 to 95.5% in 2025, with a dip in 2023; state rates rose too, and the data can't show the board's part.
