Candidate for
Board Member; Southwestern Community College District; Seat 5

Government should protect public safety, promote opportunity, and value freedom.

Community Colleges exist to provide educational opportunity, thereby promoting individual self-improvement and economic growth for the community. They should be places of learning in the best American tradition, where knowledge is gained and ideas are freely exchanged. Like all parts of our government, Community College boards should respect the constitutional rights of all citizens and understand they administer the taxpayers' funds as a sacred trust for the community, not for themselves.
