Data analyst Angela Brady is vying in the election this fall to represent Area 3 on the Livermore school board.
Brady is competing against fellow newcomer Deborah Gibson, a retired teacher, for the Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District Board of Education seat covering northern Livermore. As the district’s first by-trustee-area election, there are no eligible incumbents for this new seat on the Nov. 3 ballot.
The LVJUSD parent said she prioritizes community representation and transparency, inclusion and support for all students as well as support for educators and staff.
“I am running to provide a transparent, accessible bridge between our community and the board, ensuring every family feels informed and heard,” Brady told Livermore Vine in an email interview.
Among her focuses, Brady said she plans to act as a liaison between Area 3 residents and the board, informing constituents of board decisions and conveying resident comments to the board.
Brady said she also intends to “live up to the value that ‘All Kids Are Our Kids’ by fostering safe, supportive environments for every child, with strong backing for LGBTQAI+ support, special education, and mental health”, she said.
As for supporting educators and staff, Brady said she intends to collaborate with employees in an effort to offer competitive “conditions” that attract and retain quality staff.
“These individuals do critical work educating our children and future citizens, they deserve to feel supported and appreciated in their workplace and the greater Livermore community,” she explained.
As for her approach to district finances, Brady said her work will be grounded in data and transparency.
The plan is to protect classroom instruction, support qualified educators, address staff training gaps and ensure financial reporting is clear to the public, she said.
Brady is a five-year resident of the Springtown neighborhood with her husband.
As the parent of children currently attending Christensen Middle School and Altamont Creek Elementary School, Brady said she has learned directly about the majority of the schools in Area 3.
“Residents deserve a dedicated local representative who understands our neighborhood schools firsthand,” she wrote.
As the daughter of a retired public-school teacher, Brady said she has developed a “deep appreciation” for all individuals who work in public schools and the need for policies that support students, families and teachers.
She has also developed skills for use on the board over the course of nearly 20 years of working as a data analyst for industrial supply distributor R.S. Hughes Co., Inc., according to Brady.
“In my role, I analyze complex data, identify trends, evaluate assumptions, and present actionable findings — analytical skills I feel translate directly into the important task of evaluating school board policies and district performance,” she said.
She holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a minor in sociology from San Jose State University.
