LOS ANGELES COUNTY DEMOCRATIC PARTY ENDORSES
ROBERT NAKAHIRO FOR L.A. COMMUNITY COLLEGE BOARD,
SEAT #6

The Los Angeles County Democratic Party last night voted overwhelmingly to endorse candidate Robert Nakahiro over incumbent Nancy Pearlman for the Los Angeles Community College Board, Seat #6.

“I am honored and humbled to have our Party’s endorsement of my candidacy for the Community College Board,” Nakahiro said. “As a lifelong Democrat, I view the endorsement as not only a display of the confidence that Democratic Party grassroots activists and leaders have in me, but as a tremendous boost to my race to refocus the Community College Board on affordability, accessibility and increased quality of education. In the current economic environment, we owe it to our constituents to make available a world-class community college education while keeping tuition affordable.”

The Los Angeles Community College Board serves constituents in more than 36 cities and communities covering an area of more the 882 square miles. The LA Community College District educates almost three times as many Latino students and nearly four times as many African American students as all of the University of California campuses combined. Eighty percent of LACCD students are from minority populations.
