Hello, I'm Mark Harvey and I am your candidate

Mark Harvey – Candidate for the Alameda County Board of Education

My mission is to help ensure that every student in Alameda County has access to a safe, equitable, and high-quality public education that prepares them for success in college, career, and community life.

With more than 32 years of executive leadership experience in business, operations, and organizational management, I bring a results-driven perspective and a parent’s commitment to public service. Throughout my career, I have led large organizations, managed complex budgets, overseen teams of more than 185 employees, and held full profit-and-loss responsibility for operations exceeding $50 million. These experiences have strengthened my ability to make thoughtful decisions, ensure accountability, and manage public resources responsibly.

Equally important are the lessons I have learned outside the boardroom. As the father of four children and a longtime youth coach in soccer, softball, baseball, and basketball, as well as a mentor with Scouts and a volunteer with Girl Scouts, I have worked closely with young people and families for many years. These experiences have reinforced my belief that every child is unique—with individual talents, challenges, and potential—and that our education system must recognize and support those differences.

As a member of the Alameda County Board of Education, I will work collaboratively with the County Superintendent, local school districts, educators, and families to set clear priorities, maintain transparent governance, and support programs that strengthen student success both academically and emotionally. I believe strong leadership means listening to our communities, supporting educators, ensuring responsible fiscal oversight, and advocating for policies that expand opportunity for every child.

My commitment is to bring practical leadership, collaborative problem-solving, and a deep belief in the power of public education to serve the students and families of Alameda County.

I hope you will consider voting for me for the position of Member, Alameda County Board of Education, 4th Trustee Area on June 2nd, 2026.

Thank you,

Mark Harvey
