Platform & Priorities
What Dr. Shah Stands For
Student Success
Every Student Deserves to Succeed
Dr. Shah is committed to removing barriers that hold students back — while continuing to invest in those already on the path to success. No student gets left behind. No student stops being supported.
Equity & Access
Breaking Down Barriers to Education
Educating young adults, career changers, and lifelong learners is our greatest investment. A well-educated community competes in a globally and technologically based economy — and strengthens democracy in San Joaquin County.
Fiscal Accountability
Responsible Stewardship of Public Funds & Our People
Taxpayers deserve hard questions and real results. Dr. Shah will bring transparency to the Board — directing every dollar to classrooms and students, while honoring the instructors and staff who make Delta College great.
About the Candidate
Rooted in This Community
Born and raised in Lodi, Dr. Tony Shah attended Lodi Unified schools, graduated from San Joaquin Delta College, and competed as a student athlete at Lodi High School, Delta College, and Sacramento State.
Delta College changed his life. Supported by his family, his faith, and this community, Dr. Shah became a 26-year educator and administrator — and now a candidate for the Board that shapes Delta's future.
