Re-Elect Mark Gibboney

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.
