Candidate Statement
ROBERTO GARCIA
AUHSD Graduate
Professional Engineer
Dear Neighbor,
I’m a AUHSD graduate, licensed Professional Engineer, youth mentor, born and raised in Orange County running for the Anaheim Union High School District Trustee Area 2.
The broad coalition supporting my campaign includes local parents, educators, mental health advocates, and working families across our community who believe our schools deserve transparent leadership.
As an engineer, I check projects closely. I make sure every dollar gets real results. I’ve brought that same careful approach to Anaheim Union. Since October 2025, I’ve gone to board meetings, reviewed budgets, and asked hard questions in public. That work helped uncover an $8 million reporting error. It also raised serious questions about a $270,000 technology contract that no one had checked closely.
I’m also a youth mentor. I support students in sports, STEM, and career planning. I go to Anaheim Union community events and I speak up for youth mental health.
As your trustee, I will put student and staff safety first. I will hold every dollar accountable for real results. I will support programs that help students build strong careers. I will make sure families and community members have a voice.
Our community deserves a board it can trust. I will treat this seat as a real responsibility, not just a formality. It would be an honor to earn your vote.
If you have any questions or would like to share your ideas, please do not hesitate to email me at hello@garcia4auhsd.com.
Thank you for your consideration!
Roberto Garcia
