Candidate for
Member of the Board of Trustees; Los Angeles Community College District; Office 1

Andra is a single mom of two college-aged children. She demonstrated great strength when she returned to school to earn her college degree while raising two young children by herself and working to support her family.

No candidate for college trustee brings a greater breadth of life experience, maturity and passion for the community colleges and their students than does Andra Hoffman.

Andra will bring the perspective of real classroom experience to the Board of Trustees. She is a Community College Professor, who teaches American and California Government. In addition she advocates in Sacramento on issues affecting students and their families as well as the staff and faculty of community colleges.

Andra's 17-years of experience on a community college campus uniquely equips her to be an effective member of the Board of Trustees from her very first day in office. She was a community college student herself, having attended L.A. Valley College when she was younger.

Andra is Board President for the National Women's Political Caucus, San Fernando Valley and serves as Vice Chair of the Legislative Committee for the West Hollywood Stonewall Democratic Club. She is a past member of the board of the YWCA and also a past boardmember of American Youth Soccer Organization Region 58.
