Office: SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION

Sonja Shaw

Nonpartisan

School District President

None as of 4/15/26

Sonja Shaw was a stay at home mom until the pandemic required school closures and she began advocating for right-wing “parents rights” opposing mask and vaccination mandates. This led her to joining the Chino Valley Unified School District Board and becoming President in 2022.

Shaw does not offer her thoughts on public safety on her campaign website, however, she espouses far-right views such as preventing trans girls from competing in sports. She is also endorsed by fringe far-right groups such as Moms for Liberty and Reform California, as well as the Sheriffs from Riverside and El Dorado counties, the Sheriff Employees Benefit Association, and the San Bernardino Police Officers Association
