Re-Elect Mark Gibboney
Cucamonga Valley Water District
Board of Directors, Division 2
Election Results
It’s official!
The San Bernardino County Registrar of Voters certified these election results with their final report on Wednesday December 4th. While the total vote counts more than doubled from the first report on election night, the percentage of votes stayed about the same throughout the count.
This was an election I was not supposed to win. It was the dirtiest campaign I have ever seen, for any election, let alone for a water board seat. I will report more on this after the total amounts spent are reported in January. I am grateful voters saw through the lies and the smear campaign and placed their trust in me to continue serving the Cucamonga Valley Water District. I pledge to listen to all concerns and continue doing my best to bring the best to our district.
I also realize the vote was close and I’m concerned that many voters may believe some of the accusations about me they read or heard, especially since my opponent’s handlers have talked about the possibility of attempting a recall election against me. As always, I am available and would like to hear from anyone who has any concerns or questions. Before you decide to believe any of the negative accusations about me or our district, please give me the opportunity to set the record straight. Call me at (909)560-7768 or email me at Mark@MarkGibboney.com.
Please consider following the governing activities of the CVWD Board of Directors by attending our meetings the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month at 5pm at the district administrative office board room, 10440 Ashford St., Rancho Cucamonga, especially the next time water rates are studied, which won’t be until 2026, but attend the public sessions and let your voice be heard.
My Sincere Gratitude
To everyone who supported my campaign in any one of different ways: contributors, volunteers, well-wishers, supporters on social media, everyone who said a prayer, and everyone who voted in this election, we were all part of a most unusual election, about which I will have more to say later, from the bottom of my heart THANK YOU!
A Message From Mark
Serving The Community
I’ve made my home in the district since 1979 and raised a family here, with Agnes, my wife of 41 years. My children and grandchildren give me a vested interest and responsibility in CVWD being able to deliver safe, clean, reliable drinking water for future generations. I am a retired Deputy Chief of Police, attorney, and college instructor.
I was elected 5 years ago with a call for change and a pledge to protect district assets. I am pleased to report change occurred and district assets have been protected. I pressed to return CVWD elections to even years for considerable savings and greater voter participation. CVWD received an upgraded bond rating to AA+ for its very strong financial profile, while keeping water rates among the lowest in the region with the lowest ratio of employees per customer. Like a consumer’s high credit score, a high bond rating makes it easier to get a loan at favorable rates and CVWD refinanced long term bond debt at low interest rates to save $14 million over the remaining life of the bonds. I'm still an advocate for ratepayers and I voted “No” on increased water rates! By any measure, CVWD’s performance is exceptional and now is the time to stay the course and re-elect a professional experienced board member for continued success. I’m running for re-election to continue serving you with transparency and integrity and I humbly ask for your vote and support.
I invite you to read about my background on my "About" page and please take the time to read the "Unusual Election" page to learn what this election is really all about.
I'll be adding a blog to this site to address campaign and water issues, so please check back. Your input is welcomed and appreciated.
