Francis Pollara has earned the endorsement of La Cañada Unified School District Governing Board President Caroline Anderson and the unanimous support of the entire LCUSD Governing Board in his campaign for Pasadena City College Trustee, Area 1.
The endorsement underscores the importance of a strong relationship between La Cañada Unified School District and Pasadena City College and reflects the LCUSD Board’s confidence in Pollara’s experience, leadership, and vision for the future of PCC.
“Francis knows firsthand how a PCC education can change lives and strengthen our community,” Anderson said. “He will bring a fresh voice to the board, backed by a career spanning public policy, business innovation, and infrastructure development.”
Anderson highlighted Pollara’s experience managing venture investments, advising on clean technology, and working with the City of Los Angeles to develop solutions to real-world challenges.
“Francis knows how to deliver results,” Anderson said. “He has the experience and vision to keep PCC strong, transparent, and focused on the future.”
A Stronger Partnership Between LCUSD and Pasadena City College
I’m especially proud to have the endorsement of Caroline Anderson, President of the La Cañada Unified School District Governing Board, and the unanimous support of the entire LCUSD Board. Francis Pollara
This endorsement means more to me than another name on a list.
LCUSD understands something important: the relationship between our local schools and Pasadena City College matters. Our students don’t stop being part of our community when they graduate from high school. PCC can be the next step toward a four-year degree, a career, or an entirely new opportunity.
That connection should be stronger.
Caroline recognized that my experience—from venture investment and entrepreneurship to clean technology and public-private partnerships—can bring a different perspective to the PCC Board. But for me, this race is about more than professional experience.
I grew up here. I went to school here. PCC was part of my own path forward. And today, I’m raising my children here. Francis Pollara
If elected, I would be the first PCC Trustee representing this district who grew up in La Cañada Flintridge.
That matters because I’m not looking at PCC from a distance. I know what this community has given me, and I want to help make sure the next generation has those same opportunities—and even more.
I’m grateful to Caroline and the entire LCUSD Board for their trust. I’m ready to bring that perspective to Pasadena City College and help build its next chapter.
Together, we’ll keep PCC moving forward.
Yard Signs!!!
In a down-ballot race, a yard sign does more than show support.
Yard sign helps put this race on the map. It reminds neighbors to vote all the way down the ballot, starts conversations, and shows that this campaign has support across our community.
That’s why every sign matters.
Yard signs are completely free. Just request below, and one of our volunteers will deliver it directly to your home. After the election, our volunteer team will also come back and pick it up.
