Candidate for
Director; Marin Municipal Water District; District 3

Occupation:
Director, Ross Valley Paramedic Authority Board; Trustee, Marin/Sonoma Mosquito and Vector Control District Board

Education and Qualifications:
Conservation remains Marin's best tool for insuring quality, affordable water for all ratepayers. Reducing our reliance on Russian River water benefits the North coast fisheries and keeps pollutants from gravel mining, waste discharge and agricultural runoff from Marin's water supply.

As former Fairfax Mayor and Councilmember, I successfully fought to protect the Ross Valley from overdevelopment and keep Marin GMO free. I continue to work with Russian Riverkeeper and other groups protecting our water resources. This record of accomplishment in public policy and water advocacy has prepared me to tackle the tough issues facing MMWD in the days ahead.

I pledge to remain free of special interests and to put the ratepayers and our environment first, through enhancing conservation efforts and using non-toxic methods to control fire and the spread of invasive species in our watershed.

We must find alternatives to giant storage facilities that can damage sensitive environments.

We must not rush to embrace an expensive desalination project without knowing its true impact on the Bay and costs to our ratepayers. And we must let our ratepayers decide through a vote of the people.
