ALAMOSA – Voters said no to another attempt by the Alamosa School District to pass a bond, according to results from Nov. 4 voting.

As for Alamosa City Council's contested races, Jan Vigil won another term as an at-large member, and Mark Martinez won the write-in vote to represent Ward 4. In unopposed contests, Ty Coleman was elected mayor again, and Dawn Krebs was re-elected to Ward 2.

According to unofficial results, 52.44 percent (1,860 votes) were against the ASD Ballot Issue 5A, while 47.56 percent were for it (1,687).

The school district was asking voters to approve a $30 million bond to pay for school improvement projects at Ortega Middle School, Alamosa High School, and Alamosa Elementary Schools. A similar ASD bond measure - $28 million - was defeated in November 2024.

Elsewhere across the San Luis Valley, voters in contested races added new school board members in Center, Sanford, and Sangre de Cristo districts.

In Center, William Wilson was defeating Sonya Flores to represent District A, and Amanda Garcia was defeating Eidy Guaderrama in District B.

In Sanford's at-large race, Jeff Peterson and Tyler Woods were the top two vote-getters in a three-person contest.

In Sangre de Cristo's at-large race, Lance Curtis and Michael Jones were leading the way, while in the District South race, Jeff Freel was leading Jason Tillman.
