Incumbent Matthew Shomer was the sole candidate for the Fire Fighter Trustee position. The Board’s Trustee Election Procedures states that if there is only one qualified candidate the Board shall be authorized to declare the sole qualified candidate as the person selected for the Trustee position and no further electoral action is required.
At the May 14, 2026 meeting, the Board declared Mr. Shomer as the Fire Fighter Trustee for another three year term beginning September 1, 2026. His biography, along with those of the other Trustees, are available here.
There will NOT be a Fire Fighter Trustee Election in 2026.
We congratulate Mr. Shomer and appreciate his continued commitment to serving the System and its members.
