SJDCTA Appreciates Election Success

A Message from the SJDCTA Organizing Committee and DeltaPAC

Here are the results of the Delta College trustee raises as of Wednesday morning (11/5/2008). Both incumbents were defeated and 3 of our 4 endorsed candidates were elected to the board. (One race, Area 1, has yet to be certified. Our endorsed candidate is in a virtual tie for first place.)

We hope this election is the start of improved leadership for the college and a better relationship between the board of trustees and the faculty. Our candidates ran thoughtful, energetic races, and Delta College faculty helped them to succeed.

Our PAC will not go away. We’ll debrief, take a breather, and start thinking about our strategy for 2010. If you know of possible candidates for the next election cycle, please send names and contact information to Lynn Hawley, Lisa Perez, or me.

Thanks,
Sam Hatch
