Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

We have been a customer of East Valley Water District for 42 years and it has been my honor to serve on the board of directors for the last 9 years. As a US Army veteran, honesty, integrity, and transparency have been my guiding principles throughout my life. My record at EVWD has been to ensure that each ratepayer receives, safe, clean and a reliable supply of water. Our most recent accomplishment is the Sterling Natural Resource Center, which will give us all a drought proof supply of water that is so critical at this current time. During my tenure on the board of directors we have instituted many cost-saving measures, including teared rate structures, weather-based irrigation controllers and many other already instituted policies. I am a rate payer just like you, so I will not be foolish with your dollars. I hope I can count on your vote so that we may continue to serve in your best interests. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at 909-648-0028 or rcoats@eastvalley.org.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Honesty
• Integrity
• Transparency

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Ensuring that our ratepayers are getting clean water, world class customer service, proper handling of public funds and knowing that I want to continue to earn their trust each and every day going forward. That East Valley Water District will ensure there is a continuing supply of water for all of their needs
