Endorsement: Chris Roesel for JCCC Board of Trustees
Chris Roesel
JCCC Board of Trustees
“Talking with students who work 60 hours a week and take 18 semester hours at the same time convinced me that I should bring different perspectives to the Board—not my perspectives, but rather those of students, faculty, and the community.”
Chris Roesel’s twin commitments to democracy and higher education are clear through his campaign for the Johnson County Community College Board of Trustees. Roesel advocates for these values primarily through social media and face-to-face contact with voters at various organizational meetings across Johnson County. Roesel’s wide-ranging professional history has taken him to four continents, where he has worked as an international development worker, a nutrition program manager, a Peace Corps volunteer, and a teacher. A current student at JCCC (and the only candidate who has recently taken classes at the College), Roesel is active with the JCCC Democrats, the Johnson County Democrats, the League of Women Voters, and many other groups. He advocates for easier registration and voting processes, along with voter engagement and civic participation.
Roesel is committed to engaging young voters, improving stakeholder group representation and inclusion, and identifying future-oriented action plans for the College.
