Candidate Statement

By Michael V. Crowell

During my two terms in office, we began to restructure the T.I.D. so that it operates more efficiently. As a result, we now manage and operate the T.I.D. like a business rather than a governmental agency. As we continue these changes, we will be able to further reduce electrical rates, and remain highly competitive in a changing marketplace. I look forward to the challenges ahead of us.

Water is the life blood of our valley's agriculture. I strive to maintain a balance between the needs of agricultural irrigation and the salmon spawning on the Tuolumne River. I will continue to protect our district's water rights at the local, state, and federal levels.

As in the past, I will respond to your concerns and work hard to improve the Turlock Irrigation District. Thank you for your support.
