View all candidates in this raceSamantha D. Windsor is a candidate running for the Somerset County Board of Education District 3 seat in 2026. A Somerset County parent and community advocate, she has been an outspoken voice on local school board issues. In June 2025, she publicly criticized the board's abrupt firing of Superintendent Dr. Ava Tasker-Mitchell, calling on board members to stop bringing personal agendas into their decisions and to put students first. Her candidacy comes amid significant controversy surrounding the Somerset County Board of Education, which has been embroiled in disputes over curriculum, staffing, and governance since a conservative majority led by Board Chairman Matthew Lankford took control following the November 2024 elections. She is running in a three-person nonpartisan race for the District 3 seat alongside Lil Joe Hylton and James White, Jr. in the June 23, 2026 primary.
