Hillsborough school board candidate emphasizes nonpartisan work after election win

In the recent school board elections in Hillsborough County, Daniela Simic won her seat with backing from Democratic voters, the Tampa Bay Times reported.

Despite the increasingly partisan nature of Florida school board races, Simic emphasized that the responsibilities of the job itself are not partisan.

Simic made this point while interacting with voters outside a South Bay church in Riverview on Election Day, where a voter asked to take a selfie with her.

The Tampa Bay Times coverage reflects ongoing discussions about education policy and school governance in the Tampa Bay area, noting the contrast between election dynamics and the actual work of school board members.
