Hi [Name],

I wanted to share something with you before the November election.

I'm supporting Nithin Iyengar for the Acalanes Union High School District Governing Board, Trustee Area 1.

Nithin began his career as a high school math teacher and has spent 20 years in public education — as a district leader in Oakland and Philadelphia, an advisor to school systems nationwide, and now as the head of a foundation committed to improving public education for Bay Area students. He has also been twice elected by Walnut Creek voters to serve on the Walnut Creek School District Governing Board.

What sets Nithin apart is that public education isn't just his passion — it's his profession. He knows how school boards work from the inside, and he knows what it takes to make them work better.

I'd be grateful if you'd consider voting for Nithin this November. Learn more at nithiniyengar.org.

Hi [Name],

I wanted to make sure you knew about an important change to this November's election.

For the first time, the Acalanes Union High School District is moving to a by-trustee area election system — meaning we will elect our own Walnut Creek representative to the AUHSD board. If you live in Trustee Area 1, which covers Walnut Creek and includes Las Lomas High School, this election is yours.

I'm supporting Nithin Iyengar for that seat. Nithin is a Las Lomas parent, twice-elected Walnut Creek school board member, and someone who has spent 20 years in public education. He's the right person to be Trustee Area 1's first ever representative on the AUHSD board.

Not sure if you're in Trustee Area 1? Find out at nithiniyengar.org/trustee-voting.

Hi [Name],

I wanted to make sure you knew about Measure W — a parcel tax on the November ballot that I'm personally supporting and think you should know about.

Despite having some of the best high schools in California, AUHSD is in the bottom 10% of districts statewide for per-student funding. Measure W would generate $6 million annually for AUHSD schools — going directly to attracting and retaining qualified teachers, maintaining manageable class sizes, and sustaining the academic and career pathway programs our students depend on.

Measure W requires a two-thirds supermajority to pass, which means every single vote matters.

I'd encourage you to vote YES on Measure W this November and share this with neighbors and friends who care about our schools.

And while you're thinking about our schools — I'm also supporting Nithin Iyengar for the AUHSD Governing Board, Trustee Area 1. Learn more at nithiniyengar.org.
