Colfax resident Trinity Burruss says that as a parent, there is nowhere else she wants her children to call home. She won a second term to the Colfax City Council in the general election on Nov. 8, 2022.


Her background is primarily in operations management and industrial engineering for multimillion-dollar projects and operations performed by large publicly traded companies. She currently works in public policy and regulatory reform of the California electric grid as it relates to the interconnection of distributed energy resourses.


Burruss received Police Officers Standards and Training Academy training under the supervision of the Placer County Sheriff’s Office. She has also served as an officer to Placer County Superior Court as a court-appointed special advocate to children. Burruss attended Los Rios Law Enforcement Academy and Sierra College.
