Statement to Voters

By Chris Cofer

Priorities and Goals

PCC Board of Trustees

Today, decisions are being made that limit students' access to higher education. We need to carefully examine the college's priorities and put the interests of our residents first. Access to quality education in our community and a well-supported faculty are my top priorities.

With financial resources reduced, we can't afford to shift funds away from student instruction. Let's work to reverse this trend and promote a college budget with students' needs as its primary obligation. Our college should not be expected to work alone; I will work constructively with businesses and local organizations to meet today's changing occupational demands.

I have the experience and commitment to our community to follow through on these issues. I am a Community College Teacher, US Army veteran, and life-long local resident. I attended local public schools and started college at PCC. I graduated from CSU Northridge and Baylor University and deeply value the opportunities provided through accessible public education.

As your elected College Board Member, I will work to ensure that your interests and those of your neighbors are given the highest priority. I respectfully ask for the opportunity to be of service to our community, for your support and vote on November 8.
