- **Monroe Lace**

- **Erwin Tam**

A nonpartisan office: candidates do not run as Democrats or Republicans, and no party appears on the ballot.

Eight candidates compete for three seats on the board governing City College of San Francisco. Vote for up to three; the three highest vote totals win. The Department of Elections' final qualified list is Elijah Ball, Rome Moses Jones, Monroe Lace, Leah LaCroix, Jeremy Lee, Bunny McFadden, Erwin Tam and Lisa Wynn.

The seven-member Board of Trustees sets policy for City College, approves its budget, and hires and evaluates the chancellor. Three full-term seats are on this ballot; a separate partial-term seat appears as its own contest.

Two organized signals are visible in the sources reviewed here. AFT 2121, the faculty union, endorsed Leah LaCroix, Jeremy Lee and Bunny McFadden as a slate and approved a $500 political-fund contribution to each. The Harvey Milk LGBTQ Democratic Club endorsed the same three candidates. Those are interest-group choices, not neutral evaluations; several other candidates have less public campaign material.

## Elijah Ball

Qualified for the ballot on August 6 after filing July 6, according to the Department of Elections. Their Voter Information Pamphlet statement says they are a college campus planner. It says they have worked with seven colleges nationwide, including three California community college districts, on long-term plans to stabilize and modernize those institutions. It also says they were the first in their family to graduate college, after moving to San Francisco at 18 for SFSU and later studying at Cornell. The statement lists endorsements including State Senator Scott Wiener, Board of Supervisors President Rafael Mandelman, and CCSF Trustees Ruth Ferguson, Heather McCarty and Luis Zamora.

**Strengths:** A planning career spent specifically on community-college enrollment, facilities and finances, as described in their own statement.

**Trade-offs:** The experience and endorsement list are self-reported in a campaign statement the city does not fact-check.

**Keep in mind:** This is the first documented material for this candidacy; weigh it against the other candidates' own statements, not against a reporter's profile that doesn't exist yet.

## Rome Moses Jones

Qualified for the ballot on August 7 after filing May 27, according to the Department of Elections. Their Voter Information Pamphlet statement says they are a non-profit executive. It says they hold an AA in Real Estate from City College of San Francisco and a BA in Urban Planning & Studies from San Francisco State University. It says their non-profit work has included roles as a student success coach, mentor and college ambassador. The statement lists no endorsements.

**Strengths:** A stated background inside the institution itself, as both a former CCSF student and a student-support professional.

**Trade-offs:** The background is self-reported in a campaign statement the city does not fact-check. It names no endorsers and no specific governing agenda.

**Keep in mind:** This is the first documented material for this candidacy; weigh it against the other candidates' own statements, not against a reporter's profile that doesn't exist yet.

## Monroe Lace

Qualified for the ballot on August 7 after filing July 20, according to the Department of Elections; a candidate committee appears in the Ethics Commission's November election index. Their Voter Information Pamphlet statement says they are a community college and trade school graduate who now teaches in San Francisco's public schools. It names balancing the budget, raising enrollment and student success as priorities. The statement lists endorsements including Supervisors Rafael Mandelman and Alan Wong, CCSF Trustees Heather McCarty, Ruth Ferguson and Luis Zamora, the School Board's Jaime Huling, and former SFUSD Superintendent Vincent Matthews.

**Strengths:** A registered campaign organization and a statement naming concrete priorities, not just biography.

**Trade-offs:** The priorities named are general rather than specific plans. The endorsement list is self-reported in a statement the city does not fact-check.

**Keep in mind:** Committee registration verifies campaign activity, not the merits of a platform; their own statement is the fuller source now available.

## Leah LaCroix

Qualified for the ballot on August 12. AFT 2121 endorsed her as part of its three-candidate slate and approved a $500 political-fund contribution; the Harvey Milk LGBTQ Democratic Club also endorsed her. Her Voter Information Pamphlet statement says her higher-education path began at City College, as a dual-enrolled high school student, and that she has lived in the Ingleside for over 20 years. It names "stability and a long-term vision" for the board, more transparency, and sustainable enrollment growth as her goals. The statement separately lists endorsements from CCSF Trustees Susan Solomon and Vick Chung, Supervisor Connie Chan, SFUSD Board member Alida Fisher, and former Supervisor Aaron Peskin.

**Strengths:** Organized support from both the faculty union and an LGBTQ Democratic club, plus a personal history inside the institution she'd govern.

**Trade-offs:** Endorsements show coalition support, not an independent assessment of governing ability. The goals in her own statement are directional, not itemized.

**Keep in mind:** She is one member of an identical three-person slate endorsed by both groups; evaluate the candidates individually as well as together.

## Jeremy Lee

Qualified for the ballot on August 12. AFT 2121 endorsed them as part of its three-candidate slate and approved a $500 political-fund contribution; the Harvey Milk LGBTQ Democratic Club also endorsed them. Their Voter Information Pamphlet statement says they are a third-generation San Franciscan who spent a decade working in Chinatown. It says they worked in City Hall on the 2017 push to make Free City College a reality. It names strengthening CCSF's Cantonese program, securing the college's finances and protecting Free City College among their priorities, and says the campaign declines money from "big tech, corporations, and billionaires." The statement separately lists endorsements from Supervisors Connie Chan and Chyanne Chen, former Board of Supervisors presidents Norman Yee and Aaron Peskin, Norman Fong, and CCSF Trustees Vick Chung and Susan Solomon.

**Strengths:** Organized union and club support, plus a named governing agenda, including an existing-program commitment (the Cantonese program) and a stated fundraising line (no corporate or big-tech money).

**Trade-offs:** The agenda and the no-corporate-money claim are self-reported in a statement the city does not fact-check.

**Keep in mind:** Interest-group endorsements identify alignment; they do not substitute for a candidate's own plans, which here are more specific than most of the field's.

## Bunny McFadden

Qualified for the ballot on August 12 after filing August 10. AFT 2121 endorsed her as part of its three-candidate slate and approved a $500 political-fund contribution; the Harvey Milk LGBTQ Democratic Club also endorsed her. Her Voter Information Pamphlet statement says she is an educator and journalist who holds a Doctorate in Education. It says she attended community college after graduating high school early. It cites experience teaching adults and youth, serving on a PTA board and the South of Market Childcare board, and directing workforce development programs. The statement separately lists endorsements from CCSF Trustees Susan Solomon and Vick Chung, Supervisor Connie Chan, and former Supervisors Aaron Peskin and Dean Preston.

**Strengths:** Organized support from both the faculty union and an LGBTQ Democratic club, plus a stated education and workforce background specific to the population City College serves.

**Trade-offs:** A very late filing left less time for voters to examine the campaign. Both the background and the endorsements are self-reported in a statement the city does not fact-check.

**Keep in mind:** She appears on the official ballot as Bunny McFadden; that is the name voters will see.

## Erwin Tam

Qualified for the ballot on August 7 after filing July 24; a candidate committee appears in the Ethics Commission's November election index. Their Voter Information Pamphlet statement says they are a municipal financial advisor whose clients have included public agencies statewide. It says they supported BART through funding shortfalls, helped Muni plan for a balanced budget, and have created long-term financial strategies with more than 30 community colleges across California. The statement separately lists endorsements from Supervisors Rafael Mandelman and Alan Wong, CCSF Trustees Heather McCarty, Ruth Ferguson and Luis Zamora, the School Board's Jaime Huling, and former College Board President Alex Randolph.

**Strengths:** A registered campaign organization plus a stated professional specialty, public-agency finance, that maps directly onto the board's budget role.

**Trade-offs:** The client list and track record are self-reported in a statement the city does not fact-check.

**Keep in mind:** Committee registration verifies campaign activity, not the merits of a platform; their own statement is the fuller source now available.

## Lisa Wynn

Qualified for the ballot on August 12 after filing August 7, according to the Department of Elections. Their Voter Information Pamphlet statement, signed Lisa Palagi Wynn II, says they are an equity researcher. It says they earned an honors A.S. from City College of San Francisco in 2024 and a B.S. in Interdisciplinary Studies from CIIS, and that they have served four years as a San Francisco Behavioral Health Commissioner. It cites student organizing work connected to San Francisco Rising and UCSF. The statement lists no endorsements.

**Strengths:** A recent, honors-level City College credential of their own, plus a current city commission appointment.

**Trade-offs:** The background is self-reported in a statement the city does not fact-check. The statement names no specific governing agenda for the board seat itself.

**Keep in mind:** This is the first documented material for this candidacy; weigh it against the other candidates' own statements, not against a reporter's profile that doesn't exist yet.

## Review notes

- AFT 2121 and Harvey Milk LGBTQ Democratic Club may have more bias because they are advocacy voter guides compared to other formal government and nonprofit journalism sources.
