The battle lines have officially been drawn in the 2020 race to replace San Jose’s Almaden Valley Councilman Johnny Khamis. 

Right after ending a five-year tenure as chair of the Santa Clara County GOP, Bob Nuñez landed a new gig as an acting superintendent.

The stars that night, honored in the East Side Union High School District Education Foundation’s Hall of Fame fundraiser, consisted of a 10-person class led by Khaled Hosseini, a 1984 graduate of Independence High School and author of The Kite Runner. But on Nov. 15, 2011, the IRS revoked the foundation’s nonprofit status. And yet almost no one outside of its board—including donors—knew about its lost certification when it threw a fundraiser a year later.
