My name is Angela Valles and I would like your vote for Victorville City Council. I was born and raised in the Victor Valley and am vehement about improving the quality of life in Victorville. I am no stranger to overcoming difficult obstacles. I became pregnant at the age of 16, had to drop out of school and focus on becoming a mother. I had to grow up fast, but that didn’t stop me from pursuing my dreams.
I went back to school to earn my associate’s degree from Victor Valley College, where I now serve on the Board of Trustees. After receiving my associate’s degree I entered the male-dominated industry of corrections, where I had to not only earn the respect of my colleagues, but also of the prisoners being housed there. In just eight years I worked my way up to the position of warden at the Victor Valley Medium Community Correctional Facility, which was later bought by San Bernardino County.
While working for the correctional facility, education came calling again and I worked to get my bachelor’s degree in Organizational Development from Azusa Pacific University. I went on to receive an International Master’s degree in the same subject from Pepperdine University.
I achieved all of these goals while raising two beautiful and successful children. My son Emmanuel is an Air Force Veteran and my daughter Alissa is a student at Victor Valley College.
I truly believe in service above self and have served as president of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and also proudly serve on the Victor Valley Community Hospital Board of Trustees, among several other boards and committees.
My experience in Organizational Development helped me make a great difference on the VVC College Board of Trustees, helping to get back the college’s accreditation, re-organizing staff and finding new ways to attract students to enroll.
I believe the City of Victorville could greatly benefit from the same kind of organizational overhaul. It’s time to take a step back and re-evaluate how the taxpayers’ money is being spent.
All my life I have sought out challenges and risen above them. My passion is to make a positive difference, and Victorville needs to start moving in a positive direction. In everything I do I try to reflect the sentiment of my favorite Erma Bombeck quote: “When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, ‘I used everything you gave me’” That’s exactly what I want Victorville residents to say after I am given the chance to use my skills and passion to make a difference in our community.
I’m ready to put the interests and needs of Victorville residents above all else, so when Election Day nears, remember: VOTE VALLES!!!
