Hernando still decides School Board District 5: Champion versus Duval on November 3
Brooksville is the county seat. The county-only values gap on the live November 3 file is Hernando School Board District 5: Kara Leigh Champion versus incumbent Susan Duval, an at-large oval. That pair would be wrong in Pasco or Citrus. Pull the style from Hernando County Supervisor of Elections (hernandovotes.gov) with your full residential address, not a 34601 / 34613 ZIP.
Featured: Hernando School Board District 5
Amanda Rae Cunningham-Rud lost August 18.
Kara Leigh Champion (NPA) 25 / 24 / 16 · Grade B. On the November 3, 2026 general ballot. Hernando Sun D5 Q&A, WUSF, and campaign Facebook opened. Parental choice / anti-indoctrination / civics without Gospel. Bilirakis / MAGA / Conservatives stack. Christian 25 is high-20s parental without Jesus as Lord — not leftover 30 adjacency.
Susan Duval (NPA, incumbent) 4 / 3 / 0 · Grade B. On the November 3, 2026 general ballot. Hernando Sun D5 Q&A and WUSF opened. Registered Democrat. PHDSA + FEA. Equality Florida PAC does not name this oval — Christian 4 is progressive, not Pride 0. GOP 0 from an opened Democrat. Same letter. The bars are not.
