The community of the Antelope Valley makes a strong, unified call for the appointment of Cordell Purnell to the Eastside Union School District Board. Cordell isn't simply another name on a list of potential appointees; he holds the voice of our community, a voice that resonates throughout, with dedication, passion, and proven leadership.

As a father of twelve, Cordell’s leadership begins at home. He leads by example, instilling faith, discipline, and service into the everyday lives of his children. Their work has been featured in commercials, music videos, television shows, and community events, all while maintaining a deep sense of purpose and connection to the people they serve.

Cordell is also an entrepreneur, building platforms that support youth empowerment and family-centered programming. Through workshops, outreach, and mentorship, he helps young people discover their gifts and walk in their calling with confidence.

Despite challenges, Cordell’s unwavering faith and commitment to his family and community have made him a beacon of resilience and inspiration. His story is not just about overcoming obstacles—it’s about turning life into ministry, and ministry into movement.

Cordell Purnell is more than an artist. He’s a father, faith leader, and visionary who continues to change lives—one step, one story, and one soul at a time.

As a community, we believe in the power of educational equity and the pursuit of student success, which Cordell Purnell has ceaselessly advocated. We no longer want these values to be an abstract concept but something our community fully realizes.

In order to make this vision a reality, we urge the Eastside Union School District Governing Board to appoint Cordell Purnell to fill the current vacancy for Trustee Area 3. Join us in voicing our support for a leader who not only embodies our values but will strive unabashedly to enact them.
