Political Beliefs
Position Papers
Voters in District 5 have a real choice
Summary
Voters in District 5 have an election choice, unlike those in Districts 1 and 2.
Are you confident that Cuesta's curriculum, as well as the potential future composition of the Board of Trustees, represent true diversity--including viewpoint diversity?
Are you satisfied that Cuesta College students get a solid return on their educational investment? Are they successful transferring to four-year colleges?
Are they thoroughly prepared for--and supported to--enter the workforce? And how can we help them do even better?
Despite its strengths, Cuesta College is facing a huge budget deficit, struggling with shrinking enrollments, and runs the risk of being crippled by the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, Cuesta students could benefit from real viewpoint diversity in their classes, and should not be subject to indoctrination by faculty members.
Let's work together for a bigger, better, and bolder Cuesta College where all students have a voice.
Vote for Brian Kennelly to:
-
Educate for Local Employment;
-
Keep Cuesta Accountable; and
-
Ensure American Ideals in the Classroom.
