Ray & Lynette Souza: Abe Rojas best candidate for YCCD board, area 3

We are writing in support of Abe Rojas for the Yosemite Community College District Board of Trustees, area 3. Abe has a lifelong record of service to our community. Whether as an advisor to the Salvation Army or the Cal State Athletic Department or especially the YCCD Board of Trustees, Abe has demonstrated his commitment to work hard and always spend the time necessary to study the issues and do his homework so that he can provide accurate and honest input. Abe is humble, sincere and approachable, with the highest degree of integrity.

Even though Abe has a great reputation of being a “nice guy,” he has the strength of character to make the tough decisions. His decisions are driven by what he believes will benefit the students of the college as well as the long-term viability of Modesto Junior College rather than any popular fad. We are proud to be casting our vote for Abe Rojas for YCCD area 3 Trustee.

Ray & Lynette Souza, Turlock
