Board of Trustees see 2 new members, incumbent fighting for third seat

Members-elect Mike Eng and Ernest Henry Moreno secured their seats on the Los Angeles Community College District Board of Trustees Tuesday while Nancy Pearlman and David Vela will have a run-off election on May 21.

Eng will take over seat two in July from the first vice president of the Board of Trustees, Tina Park, who won election in 2009 and served a single term.

Moreno replaces the longest serving member of the current Board of Trustees, Kelly Candaele, who was elected to sit with the board back in 1997 and served four consecutive terms.

Incumbent board member, Nancy Pearlman will have to square off against the top vote getter in this primary election, David Vela, in May to decide who gets the last seat up for contention on the LACCD Board of Trustees.

“I will continue to do the variety of things that I need to do to get out the vote,” Pearlman said.
