THE CHRONICLE EDITORIAL BOARD, FRI., OCT. 19, 2018
“Convincing voters to kick out an incumbent of any elected office can be a high bar to clear, and that holds especially true with Julie Ann Nitsch. In just two years on the ACC board, Nitsch has proven herself a staunchly progressive voice capable of enacting meaningful policy.
“She campaigned on and was instrumental in passing the district’s long-desired child care drop-in program at the Highland campus, as well as raising the minimum wage for staff members to $13 an hour… Because of Nitsch’s commitment to the work, and her successes, we endorse her for another term.“
“I’m running for re-election to be a voice for students and workers, and to fulfill ACC’s mission of being a catalyst for equity.”
