Here is her campaign statement:

Hello RCCD students! My name is Rochelle Duran and would love to be your Student Trustee! I'm currently a student-athlete and first generation college student at Norco College. I'm currently a part of the Associated Students of Norco College as the Vice President of Campus Organizations and a part of the women’s cross country team. I'm also involved in several clubs/organizations on campus including the Honors program, E-Sports Association, EOPS, Stem, and Veteran’s club. Being involved in such diverse communities on campus has made me a better leader and person. I choose to be in leadership roles because I want to make a difference and to bring a sense of community. As Student Trustee, I want student representation at Board of Trustee meetings and will listen to your concerns so the board has a better understanding of students’ perspectives. Our voices need to be heard and I will advocate for empowerment of all students. Each student must be recognized as a real person, with a real face/identity and individual struggles and needs. Before important decisions are made, I believe students have a right to voice their opinions/concerns instead of the Board making last minute decisions that affect our students. I believe in accountability for all and true equity. I'm a tenacious leader and will not take no for an answer when it comes to students' best interests at heart. I believe all three campuses should work together as a family unit with the same available resources for all students. I support genuine diversity and want to emphasize the word “trust” in trustee and earn students trust to allow me to represent the student body for our school district.
