Ballot Statement — Richard Englefield

I served as Chair of the El Dorado County Water Agency and Vice-Chair of the Water and Power Authority — experience I'll put to work for you on the irrigation district board, where I will:

  • PROTECT RATEPAYERS by cutting debt, eliminating waste, opposing new rate increases, and restoring fiscal accountability.
     
  • PROTECT OUR WATER by opposing state efforts to end "rights of origin" and other plans that would divert our water without our consent.

I'll make sure our county has a reliable supply of clean and affordable water — now and far into the future.

As Chair of the El Dorado County Water Agency, I took the lead to secure local water rights and promoted water conservation. As Vice-Chair of the Water and Power Authority, I protected and improved our county's water and energy resources.

I also served on the board of the Grizzly Flats Community Services District, where our new Water System Improvement Project has improved water delivery and reliability, while increasing fire safety.

I offer solid water management experience and years of local service. I'm a long-time local resident and a military combat veteran — and I would appreciate your support.
