Candidate for
Board Member; Grossmont-Cuyamaca Community College District; Seat 5

I am a strong advocate for education. I know what works and what doesn't in the classroom. I know what teachers need to help their students and what administration needs to provide. I am attending Cuyamaca College this semester and have toured both campuses, talking with staff members. I find that all of their concerns are centered in creating a better educational environment.

I am also a fiscal conservative and will support moderation in the use of taxpayer dollars. Taxpayers expect the vast majority of their funds to be used in the classroom. Now, almost 50% goes to bureaucracy.

Finally, I strongly believe in open and shared governance. All stakeholders should know every step of the way, how decisions are being made and implemented.
