Trustee Chen Lau will be running in the newly redistricted 1st District, which now includes La Canada-Flintridge plus the Linda Vista, San Rafael, West Pasadena, Old Town, Madison Heights and Oak Knoll neighborhoods of Pasadena.
Lau said:
I love PCC and I’m a true believer in the mission of our community colleges. Serving on the Board is tremendously rewarding, and with the voters’ support, I hope to continue.
Obviously, the past two years have been dominated by the pandemic. It has been inspiring to see the college community pull together to meet the challenge. I am proud to have helped lead that effort, and I’m confident that PCC will emerge from this crisis stronger than ever. We are financially strong, our students, faculty and staff are resilient, and we are making badly-needed major improvements on campus.
“If re-elected, I will focus on academic excellence, improving community outreach to help recruit more local students, and ensuring that every PCC student has a full opportunity to succeed. I believe voters share those goals and I ask for their support on June 7th,” Lau added.
While many offices on the June ballot are primaries, for PCC candidates this will be the general election. Whichever candidate wins a plurality of the vote on June 7th will be elected to the Board of Trustees.
