Big Bear Valley Healthcare Board: Boss and Gonzalez Lead Two-Seat Contest

BIG BEAR LAKE / BIG BEAR VALLEY, San Bernardino County — November 4, 2026. Residents within the Bear Valley Community Healthcare District’s electoral boundaries are choosing two board directors. The race has three candidates and is distinct from the Big Bear Lake City Council and Big Bear City CSD elections.

Current results

The 2 a.m. San Bernardino County preliminary election-night summary shows Peter Boss with 2,180 votes (39.38%), Amber Lynn Gonzalez 1,868 (33.74%) and Shelly Jean Egerer 1,476 (26.66%). Boss and Gonzalez hold the top two reported positions for two available seats.

Still incomplete

The registrar lists 33 of 80 precincts (41.25%) reporting. Candidate percentages in this vote-for-two contest are percentages of reported votes, not necessarily the fraction of individual voters favoring each candidate. Additional valid ballots and precinct reports may change which candidates lead.

Why healthcare-district elections matter

Community healthcare district directors govern a distinct local public agency responsible for decisions about local healthcare services and public resources. The election is not limited to residents inside the city limits of Big Bear Lake; it follows the health district’s legal voter boundaries. No winning candidates have been certified.
