Priorities

  • Every student deserves to feel safe, supported, and ready to learn. Hector is committed to strengthening and maintaining school-based mental health teams, including counselors, social workers, and wellness staff, so students can access help when they need it. He is also prioritizing culturally responsive services that reflect the diverse backgrounds of Santa Ana families, along with early intervention strategies and partnerships with community organizations.

  • College is not the only path to success, and Hector believes every student should graduate with real options. He is working to expand high-quality Career Technical Education (CTE) programs that connect students to hands-on learning, industry certifications, and direct pathways into good-paying careers. By strengthening partnerships with community colleges, local unions, and apprenticeship programs, Hector is ensuring students can transition seamlessly from high school into the workforce with the skills and opportunities they need to succeed.

  • Hector is committed to making sure every dollar in the district is used transparently and with purpose. That means prioritizing investments that directly improve student outcomes, maintaining strong oversight of district spending, and ensuring that resources reach classrooms where they are needed most. From securing historic funding for school improvements to advocating for responsible budgeting practices, Hector is focused on delivering results while protecting taxpayer dollars.

  • Strong reading skills are the foundation for lifelong success. Hector is leading efforts to improve literacy rates across the district by expanding access to reading specialists, investing in early literacy programs, and implementing targeted interventions for students who need additional support. He is also focused on learning recovery, ensuring that students who fell behind have the tools, instruction, and support needed to catch up and stay on track. His goal is simple: every student reading at grade level and prepared for the next step in their education.

Hector’s campaign is powered by people like you who believe in a future that puts our community first.

Every dollar you chip in goes directly toward the tools we need to win: reaching more voters, printing materials, and fueling our grassroots organizing efforts across the district.
