2022 Local Election Guide
Updated: Aug 31

It's a relatively quiet election season for SMARTMoraga this go-round, as our primary focus on the Town of Moraga has relatively few candidates competing and, as you know, we don't spend a lot of our time on local school or fire department matters. Nevertheless, here's our recap:
Moraga Town Council
Two four-year terms and one two-year term are on the ballot:
Steve Woehleke (Mayor) and Kerry Hillis (Planning Commission Chair) are running unopposed for the two, four-year terms.
Kendall Langan (website Kendall Langan campaign website) and David Shapiro (website David Shapiro campaign website) are running for the single, two-year term.
As a matter of policy, we don't endorse candidates without a voting record to review. We encourage you to visit their websites.
Moraga-Orinda Fire District
Three four-year terms are on the Moraga and Orinda ballots, though each Moraga resident lives in a single geographic "district" with a single board member representing them. Two of the districts are within Moraga. This year again pits union-backed candidates against "independent" candidates (see our more detailed articles MOFD election candidate analysis and final 2022 candidate list).
For District 1, it's Greg Hasler (website Greg Hasler campaign website) vs Chris Young (website Chris Young campaign website)
For District 3, it's Steve Danziger (website Steve Danziger campaign website) vs Vince Dell'Aquila (website Vince Dell'Aquila campaign website)
As a matter of policy, we don't endorse candidates in MOFD elections. We encourage you to visit their websites along with reading our previous articles.
Moraga School District
Three seats and four candidates for the school board this go-round:
Larry Jacobs (website Larry Jacobs campaign website) is the sole incumbent running
Hen King (website Hen King campaign website)
Kristen Kraetsch (no website located or provided in candidate profile)
Martha White (no website located or provided in candidate profile)
As a matter of policy, we don't endorse candidates in school board elections.
