Meet John
A steady, common-sense voice for El Dorado County’s classrooms.
John is running for the El Dorado County Board of Education because he believes every student in the county deserves strong schools, engaged teachers, and a board that listens before it votes.
John Hensill is a father of three and a licensed attorney who has spent his career fighting for kids — representing students who need extra educational support and children in foster care facing disciplinary hearings. He's seen firsthand what one person can do for a child's education.
Elect John, and he'll bring that same fight to the board for every child in El Dorado County.
