After much contemplation, I have exciting news to share. I am running for the Los Angeles Community College District Board of Trustees.
• I am running for an open seat because jobs, education, and workforce development are important to me.
• I am running because I want to restore the promise California made to us, that our state would make college education affordable and accessible.
• I am running because I would not be here today if it weren't for a community college. Community college helped me fulfill my promise to myself and my family to get through school with the courses I needed to graduate, be successful and contribute to my communities.
• I am running because there is work to do.
For the past few months, I have been laying the foundation to run a strong campaign. In addition to meeting with stakeholders throughout the district and recruiting a campaign team, I have sought the support and endorsement of respected leaders throughout the County. I am endorsed by:
• U.S. Rep. Karen Bass
• State Sen. Holly Mitchell
• State Assemblymember Steve Bradford
• State Assemblymember Isadore Hall III
• State Assemblymember Reginald Jones-Sawyer, Jr.
• Los Angeles City Councilman Mike Bonin
• Compton Mayor Aja Brown
• Compton College Board Trustee Sonia Lopez
• Culver City Mayor Meghan Sahli-Wells
• Culver City Vice Mayor Mehaul O'Leary
• Culver City City Councilman Jim B. Clarke
• Culver City Councilman AndryWeissman
• Culver City School Board member Kathy Paspalis
• Lynwood School Board member Briseida Gonzales
• Hon. Diane E. Watson (ret.) and
• Hon. Gwen Moore (ret.).
[img]2610|right|Ms. Kamlager||no_popup[/img]I have prided myself on being self-sufficient. I generally figure out a way to get things done on my own before asking for help. But this is not that time. I cannot run or win alone. I can't do this without your help. I need you. You have been there for me before. I am hoping you will stay with me.
This is a huge district. The Los Angeles Community VCollege District is the largest in the nation, meaning lots of work and fundraising.

There are no contribution limits, so you can pledge to these values and this campaign as often as you would like.
If you stand with me, I will stand up for our students, our faculty and our right to an affordable, accessible high quality college education.
I promise that this campaign will not be in vain. Because our dream of an affordable, accessible college education cannot be in vain.
