WATER BOARD

I have represented Carmel, Carmel Highlands and Carmel Valley on the Water Board for the past four years.
I am running for re-election and am especially proud to be endorsed by Fred Keeley.

My record speaks for itself. I worked with the other board members to challenge water credit transfers, which allow water profiteering with no demonstrable savings of water. We improved the steelhead fishery recovery with a state-of-the-art fish holding facility at Sleepy Hollow. We fought off the attempt to take away the voters' rights to vote on new water projects and to directly elect members of the Water Board. We authorized second bathrooms. We came up with a desalination project that deserves community support.
