I'm incredibly honored to share that the Stonewall Democratic Club has officially endorsed my campaign for Pasadena City College Trustee, Area 1.

As one of Southern California's oldest and most respected Democratic organizations, Stonewall has a long history of supporting leaders who believe in expanding opportunity, protecting public education, and ensuring every member of our community has the chance to succeed. Their endorsement is a meaningful vote of confidence in our campaign and the future we're working to build together at Pasadena City College.

I'm deeply grateful for their support and proud to stand alongside the growing coalition of educators, students, labor leaders, elected officials, and community members who believe PCC deserves experienced, forward-looking leadership.

And with just 90 days until Election Day, that momentum has never mattered more.

Since launching our campaign, our incredible volunteers have helped us knock on more than 1,000 doors throughout Trustee Area 1.

Those conversations matter.

Every door knocked, every question answered, and every new volunteer helps us reach voters in the most effective way possible – through genuine, one-on-one conversations.

If you've been thinking about getting involved, now is the perfect time. We go in groups and it is a very fun way to have immediate impact on reaching the voters we need to win.

We canvass on weekday afternoons and weekend mornings and evenings, and we'd love to have you join us. Whether you can volunteer for an hour or a few, you'll make a real difference.

We're running a disciplined, grassroots campaign built on neighbors supporting neighbors.

While our opponent benefits from a small number of well-funded supporters, our campaign is powered by hundreds of people who believe Pasadena City College is one of the region's most important public institutions – and that its future deserves thoughtful leadership.

Here's something most people don't realize:

It costs about $1 to reach one voter, one time.

Every dollar you contribute allows us to knock on another door, send another piece of mail, make another phone call, or reach another voter online.

If you believe in protecting PCC's excellence while preparing it for the future, I hope you'll consider making a contribution today.

Community college trustee elections don't usually make headlines, but the decisions made by the Board shape educational opportunity for nearly 27,000 students each semester, strengthen our local workforce, and protect one of our community's most valuable public institutions.

I recently had the opportunity to speak with Local News Pasadena about why this race matters and what I hope to accomplish as a trustee.

I also recorded a short video explaining why community college trustee elections deserve more attention – and why your vote truly matters.

Thank you for believing in this campaign.

Whether you've volunteered, donated, endorsed our campaign, shared our message, or simply encouraged a neighbor to vote, you've helped build something truly special.

With just 90 days remaining, every conversation and every vote matters.

Let's keep the momentum going and continue building a Pasadena City College that prepares every student for the opportunities of tomorrow.

Thank you for your friendship, your encouragement, and your support.

Sincerely,

Francis Pollara
Candidate for Pasadena City College Trustee, Area 1
