Scott Wilk For Assembly

California is facing some serious challenges today. The next two to four years will shape the direction of the Golden State for decades to come. We need a leader whose record and ideas for the future will insure that our state progresses toward a better tomorrow.  Scott’s record shows that he is the right choice to represent the 38^th Assembly District. 

Record as a COC Board Trustee

Scott was appointed to the Santa Clarita College District Board of Trustees on August 23, 2006.  He was re-elected in November 2007 and November 2011.

College of the Canyons is a public two-year community college located in the Santa Clarita Valley. It is one of the fastest growing community colleges in America. It has been recognized as one of the finest educational institutions in California. As only one member of COC’s Board of Trustees, Scott cannot assume full responsibility for its glowing statewide reputation. His board record displays his commitment to a conservative philosophy. His actions on the board have served the College of the Canyons well. 

While on the College Board Scott has:

• Opposed $400,000 in cost-of-living increases to college administrators

Scott believes that investment in education is the key to California’s future. However, these dollars need to be spent effectively and efficiently.
