ABENA CRUISE
A NATIVE OF FRESNO AND A CANDIDATE FOR STATE CENTER COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR AREA 7.
I AM RUNNING BECAUSE OF MY CONTINUED PASSION FOR THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM AND MY COMMITMENT TO THE STUDENTS, THEIR FAMILIES AND THE STAFF OF OUR COLLEGES. NOW MORE THAN EVER, MY EXPERIENCE AS A SEASONED PUBLIC SERVANT, COMMUNITY COLLEGE PROFESSIONAL AND MEMBER OF THE CITY OF FRESNO POLICE REFORM COMMISSION IS NEEDED AS WE MOVE INTO A POST COVID19 EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT. I HAVE FOUGHT TIRELESSLY TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION AND WILL WORK TO SECURE MORE FUNDING TO ENSURE ACCESS FOR ALL WHO WISH TO ATTEND.
I WILL FIGHT TO KEEP FEES AFFORDABLE, LEAD THE EFFORT TO GIVE STUDENTS THE FOUNDATION TO TRANSFER TO THE STATE COLLEGE OR UNIVERSITY SYSTEM, CHAMPION THE EXPANSION OF OUR JOB AND CAREER TRAINING PROGRAMS, AND SUPPORT ADDITIONAL RESOURCES FOR STUDENT BASIC NEEDS. Our students deserve equity at all levels of education, especially at the community college level.
I AM COMMITTED TO THE PRIORITY OF STUDENT SUCCESS THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT. I UNDERSTAND THE CHALLENGES THAT ARE FACED BY STUDENTS AND THE NEED TO HAVE A STRONG COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM. I AM ASKING FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND VOTE AS WE TAKE THIS JOURNEY TOGETHER.
Vote early! vote equity! vote abena cruise!
