San Francisco Community College Board, Partial Term

This is one contest. Enter your address to see every race on your November ballot, and keep track of your picks.

On the ballot

This person fills the partial term on the board governing City College of San Francisco: district policy, the budget, and hiring the chancellor.

Only one candidate qualified for this partial-term seat. Incumbent Ruth Ferguson appears unopposed, so the outcome is settled and your vote here does not change it.

The trustee joins the seven-member board governing City College of San Francisco, which sets district policy, approves the budget, and hires and evaluates the chancellor. This partial term is a separate contest from the three full-term seats.

Because no second candidate qualified, this ballot line cannot produce a competitive comparison. The useful voter task is to examine Ferguson's current board record and stated priorities, then follow the board's public meetings and budget decisions during the remainder of the term.

Ruth Ferguson

The incumbent and sole qualified candidate. Her campaign says she is running to keep City College affordable and describes community college as central to her own route to opportunity; that is the campaign's self-description, not an independent assessment.

Strengths

Incumbency and an explicit affordability focus.

Trade-offs

With no opponent, voters get no competing platform in this contest.

Keep in mind

Accountability for an uncontested return will come primarily through board meetings, disclosure records, constituents and the press.
