   During the 36 years as a district resident, I have always devoted my
   time and skills to serving our community. As your trustee these past
   four years, I continue my dedication and service by consistently
   attending all regularly scheduled public session meetings and serving
   as the current board president.
   I have kept my promises and commitments and have maintained the trust
   of the nearly 47,000 voters who elected me by:
     * appointing new visionary leadership -Chancellor and College
       President
     * advocating to end bifurcated fees and reinstating uniform fees for
       all resident students
     * providing competitive annual salary increases and benefits for
       faculty and staff while solving our district's financial crisis
     * promoting cultural diversity and excellence
     * maintaining high academic standards
     * encouraging open government for community involvement
       
   Our colleges rank as two of the finest in our nation for training,
   academic transfer, and degree programs. We have balanced competing
   needs with given resources while securing a safe reserve for sound
   fiscal budgeting. As your re-elected trustee, I pledge to continue
   working along with our community, government, and industry to maintain
   our college districts accessibility, accountability, and
   responsiveness to all.
   I sincerely appreciate your vote for my second term in office.
