"When I vote on school district decisions, I'll be voting for my own family, my neighbors and every student in our community," Garg said in a statement.
"Strong schools benefit everyone. They prepare students for success, strengthen neighborhoods, protect property values and make sure taxpayer dollars are spent wisely," she said.
If elected, Garg said she would focus on transparent public reporting on class sizes, regular updates on major district projects, and strengthening safety systems across school campuses.
Garg moved to Union City with her family in 2012. Her two daughters attended James Logan High School, with one currently studying at the University of California, Berkeley, while the younger is a senior at the school.
She works as a cybersecurity program manager at a Fortune 500 company, overseeing multimillion-dollar budgets.
Before entering the technology sector, Garg taught engineering students in India and later worked for three years as a substitute teacher in Bay Area schools.
She was appointed to the Union City Human Relations Commission in 2022 and has served as its chair since January 2026.
