Noting that, \u201cDMACC has become a cornerstone of our community\u201d, incumbent Kevin Halterman touted <\/a>his tenure at DMACC. He said<\/a>, \u201cAs a long-time advocate for accessible education and economic development, I am committed to ensuring DMACC continues offering programs that lead to real-world success\u2014for students, for families, and fuel our local job market.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Halterman is currently the president of the board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wade Robinson is challenging Halterman for his seat on the board. He promised <\/a>to put students first. He has also drawn attention<\/a> to \u201careas of wasted taxpayer funds.\u201d He notes, <\/a>\u201c$14,781 for a DEI Certificate for 1 staff\u200b [member]”, “$9,999.96 annually for President Denson that is not disclosed or audited,\u201d and \u201cMUCH more wasted tax funds.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robinson also pledges <\/a>to \u201cadvocate for transparency and accountability regarding sexual misconduct at DMACC.\u201d He says <\/a>he \u201cwill support legal gun owners on the DMACC Campuses.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Voters can help decide between these two candidates by November 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
