“I am from the Fifth District, and I am proud to raise my three children in the same neighborhood where I grew up. Through hard work, determination, and with the help of financial aid, I was the first generation in my family to graduate from college. I’m running for Supervisor to make sure that San Bernardino County provides residents with the opportunity to earn a good living, offers great education and workforce options, and builds a better future for the next generation. As a school board member and Chief of Staff, I’m proud of the work we’ve accomplished to improve public safety, expand access to education, deliver affordable housing & healthcare, and support quality economic development in our region.” As a member of the Colton Joint Unified School District Board, and as past president, Flores, cont. on next pg.
