Incumbent Damarys Espinoza is running to be retained on the Highline School Board in District 2, to which she was appointed this past March. Espinoza has worked in public health and social advocacy in various roles for over two decades. She manages community engagement and research at Environmental Health-Public Health Seattle & King County, works as an affiliate nursing instructor for the University of Washington, and serves as the chief equity and policy officer at Mary’s Place. Espinoza is a leader in the nonprofit sector, having founded Indigenous advocacy-aligned organizations such as alterNative Consulting, Tlaloktekuhtli, and the Community Health Board Coalition.
Much of Espinoza’s community leadership centers on environmental justice, public health, and Indigenous advocacy, and her voice on the school board is similarly aligned with a community-centric, progressive vision for our district. She has not released a campaign platform as of late June, but has earned strong community support in her bid for retention.
Damarys Espinoza is the best candidate in this race to bring thoughtful leadership to the Highline School Board from District 2.
