WHY I'M SEEKING RE-ELECTION?

From the White House to the classroom, public education is under attack. Now more than ever, the Los Angeles Community College System - a system that has suffered under years of uneven leadership – must do better.

My continued focus for the LACCD is to PUTS STUDENTS FIRST with:

• Increased funding and greater accountability in spending

• Improved outreach and recruitment to underserved groups; APIDA, LGBTQIA+, justice involved and foster youth

• Higher retention, transfer and graduation rates of underserved groups

• Greater diversity in hiring

• Enhanced student services; academic and mental health counseling, vocational education and dual enrollment for high school Freshman, Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors to earn college credit and gain workforce preparation in the trades.
