Mary Ann Remnet - Trustee Area #2 Resident and RHA volunteer.  Elections are always a time when we choose.

 “With Chris Forehan my vote (choice) is easy, because long before there was a school job to do, Chris chose ME and US.  Nothing he does in life is merely a job, or role, but everything is an extension of who he is.  Chris is a selfless giver, who understands our students’ needs.  He has done (and continues to do) all the jobs-parent, grandparent, educator, administrator, community leader, and school board trustee (former board president) and most important friend (from the first moment we met). My vote for Chris isn’t a vote of confident, it is a thank you with gratitude and appreciation for him always being “all in.”

LIna Lume - Parent in Trustee Area #2 and Executive Director Los Alamitos Youth Center.
