Other facts
I am a candidate for the West Valley-Mission Community College District Board of Trustees because of my desire to serve the community where I live, work and raise my family and because of my own college experience that provided me with educational opportunities that led to a better life. After having my own personal financial struggle shortly after graduating from college 20 years ago, I understand, more than most, how much of a financial burden college can be to students. Since then, I have learned first hand how important being fiscally responsible is to an individual and also how important fiscal responsibility is to any public entity that utilizes the public's funds, taxpayer's funds to fund its projects. My goals, as Trustee, are for: 1) the effective use of public funds to ensure the future success of the students, the district and the community that the district serves with an emphasis on fiscal responsibility, 2) an independent approach free from special interest groups, and 3) ensuring the long term success of students and future generations of students. As your trustee, I will work with our colleges to provide the best educational opportunities that benefit all members of our community. As a Trustee candidate, I am honored by endorsements from other current trustees and community college and community leaders.
