Support Karima for Trustee

Help us reach voters across Area 4.

• Display a yard sign
• Distribute campaign flyers
• Join us for a neighborhood precinct walk
• Attend community events
• Share campaign information with friends and neighbors

Every conversation, every sign, and every volunteer makes a difference.

I am running for the South Orange County Community College District Board of Trustees because I believe deeply in the power of public education to strengthen lives and communities. After more than 30 years in higher education, including serving as a dean at both Irvine Valley College and Saddleback College, I know our district, our colleges, and the communities we serve. 

As Trustee, I will work to:

• Put students first and protect academic excellence
• Safeguard taxpayer dollars through accountability and responsible stewardship
• Keep our colleges affordable and accessible
• Support outstanding faculty and staff
• Strengthen career and workforce pathways
• Expand opportunities for students at every stage of life
• Provide independent, experienced leadership focused on results

Our colleges are among the best. My commitment is to protect what works, ask tough questions, and help make them even stronger for the next generation. 

More than 30 years in public higher education, including leadership experience at both Irvine Valley College and Saddleback College, have given me a deep understanding of our district and the communities we serve.

I will lead with integrity, listen respectfully, support students and employees, protect taxpayer resources, and make thoughtful decisions that preserve the excellence of our colleges.
