Elections
2017
Community college
Ballotpedia covers elections in the city of St. Louis in Missouri since it is one of nation's 100 largest cities. The city is an independent municipality, though it was once a part of the surrounding St. Louis County. While the city elects its own government separate from the county, there is an area of overlap—the St. Louis Community College Board of Trustees. Two seats on the board, Subdistricts 1 and 2, were up for nonpartisan general election on April 4, 2017.[1]
The St. Louis Community College district serves both St. Louis city and county, as well as portions of Franklin and Jefferson counties. The board has four subdistricts and six elected members. A seventh member is appointed by the Missouri Coordinating Board for Higher Education. Subdistricts 1 and 4 have two seats each. Subdistricts 2 and 3, which cover the city of St. Louis, have one seat each.[2][3]
Filing for these elections ran from December 13, 2016, to January 17, 2017. The winner of the Subdistrict 1 race assumed a special three-year term, while the Subdistrict 2 winner assumed a full six-year term. Candidates had to be at least 21 years old and resident voters in the subdistrict for which they filed.[4]
Pam Ross defeated Patrick Burke and Ciera Simril in the general election for the Subdistrict 2 seat on the St. Louis Community College Board of Trustees.
