Dear Voter,

Water is a basic human right. As your representative for the past four years I have worked to ensure that our most precious resource stays in the public domain. I believe it is critical that our community maintain local control of our water.

I have made a conscious effort to be an open and accessible public official, trying hard to represent you with integrity, openness and accountability. I have a demonstrated history of working with democrats, republicans, independents, and greens. I am proud to have endorsements from individuals in all of those parties.

I have served as the Secretary/Treasurer of the Board, worked on the "Drink Local Water" campaign, the regional Water Task Force, and the District committee to develop a process to protect the District's water long term rights. I have also worked to ensure reasonable rates for Water District customers.

As Executive Director of a community organization dedicated to democratic participation, and a Eureka homeowner, I am committed to the health and well-being of our community and our resources.

I stand for:

  • Protection and Local Control Over Our Most Vital Natural Resource
  • Transparent and Democratic Process
  • Accessibility to All Impacted Residents
  • Balanced Representation
  • Stewardship of the Mad River Watershed

I welcome the opportunity to continue working with you, and I ask for your vote on November 4th! Please contact me if you have questions: (707) 362-0626.

Sincerely,

Kaitlin Sopoci-Belknap, Humboldt Bay Municipal Water District Director, Division 1
