THANK YOU AREA 7 VOTERS FOR RE-ELECTING ME AS YOUR TRUSTEE.  



IT'S TRULY AN HONOR TO SERVE AS YOUR TRUSTEE FOR OUR TWO EXCEPTIONAL COLLEGES, SADDLEBACK COLLEGE AND IRVINE VALLEY COLLEGE.  













About Tim 

I am seeking re-election to serve a four-year term as the Trustee for Area 7.  I'm a father, husband, business owner and your current Trustee. I love South Orange County and am a 25-year resident of Mission Viejo. I'm a passionate supporter of our exceptional, top-ranked community colleges, Saddleback College and Irvine Valley College. I am guided by one, overriding principle: make decisions that support our students. It's truly an honor to represent the residents of Area 7 as your Trustee. 


In December of 2022, I was unanimously elected by my fellow Trustees to serve as President of the seven-member Board of Trustees.  As President of the Board of Trustees, I lead by bringing people together to keep our colleges great and focused on student success.


As the Area 7 Trustee and President of the Board, I have:  


  • Overseen the rise of Saddleback College and Irvine Valley College to become top, nationally-ranked colleges 
  • Ensured our precious tax dollars go into the classroom 
  • Supported teachers who motivate students to reach their highest potential
  • Promoted partnerships with businesses that lead to internships and employment for our students 
  • Ensured balanced budgets, no new taxes and no student tuition hikes 


I am supported by a broad spectrum of community leaders, local businesses, faculty, students and elected officials.  


Re-elect Tim Jemal for Area 7 Trustee.  Thank you.
