In very early counting, the three incumbents running for reelection to the Queen Creek Unified School District governing board are leading two challengers.
Incumbent and board president Jennifer Revolt has 11,215 votes or 23.4%. Incumbent Patty Campbell has 10,339 votes or 21.58%. The third incumbent, Matt Riffey, has 9,779 votes or 20.41%.

Voters were also asked to decide on a 15% override of QCUSD’s 2025-26 maintenance and operations budget. If voters approve the override it would generate about $15 million.
