I want to earn your vote.
MID Directors make decisions about your electricity and water rates. They are also our first line of defense when the State or outside interests want access to our precious water resources.
I am running because I believe that you deserve to have a Director who is going to make you, the MID ratepayer, their number one priority.
Last year, the MID Board voted to raise electricity rates, increasing the average home’s bill by 15% by 2025. This year, some of the Directors voted to sell our water to
people outside of our District for less than what it’s worth. That decision is just not fair to ratepayers who
are dealing with increased MID bills.
I want to use my experience as a farmer and my commitment to public service as a firefighter to stand up for ratepayers and bring more transparency to the MID Board.
Meet Chris.
I am a 3rd generation farmer, born and raised in west Modesto. My family and I farm almonds, walnuts, cherries, blueberries, corn, oats and alfalfa.
I have been serving as a firefighter for Woodland Ave. Fire Department for the last 18 years, and currently serve as a Battalion Chief for the department.
​
My wife Courtney and I are proud to be raising our two children here. We need to protect our water resources and fight for low electric rates for future generations. ​​
