RE: Lake County Water Authority elections, District 2

I’ve been your elected representative to the Lake County Water Authority Board for eight years and now must retire due to term limits. Who will be elected to my position on the Board. is extremely important to me, to the citizens of Lake County and to the protection of our treasured lakes and rivers.
The choice is simple if the voter’s decision is based on the qualifications of the three candidates. Only one candidate—Robert Jenner—is qualified and worthy of responsible consideration. He has spent months proving his commitment by attending Water Authority Board meetings in order to be current on projects and budget issues. He does what a candidate should do—campaign for the office. He listens to the concerns of the public at the many forums and provides information about himself and his goals.
People learn that he is a University of Florida graduate, has a degree in geology with graduate studies in coastal engineering, was a business owner providing environmental services involving wetland delineation and a Florida certified teacher of Technology Education. Robert Jenner is extremely well qualified!!!
In contrast, his two opponents filed to run in the last hours of filing. They have not campaigned. They have attended no Water Authority meetings. They have not interacted with the public at forums and events except for one where the candidate stated to the audience that she was running because she grew up on the Clermont Lakes.
Such a narrow viewpoint regarding the duties and responsibility of a Water Authority Board member should be unacceptable to those who have grave concerns about controlling and conserving the freshwater resources of Lake County.
Historically, the Water Authority Board has been a nonpartisan office. In 2006 amidst great political controversy, a voter referendum changed the Board to a partisan elected office. My view has always been that the Board should be a voice that is independent of party politics, that water protection decisions should be based on science and a commitment to restoration and prevention projects that improve surface water quality.
We have in this election an R, a D and an NPA. I appeal to you to vote for Robert Jenner --regardless of party labels--because he is the best qualified candidate. His commitment to the protection, preservation and improvement of our water resources for the benefit of all is needed on the Water Authority Board.
Please VOTE for ROBERT JENNER who I trust to continue Water Authority projects that maintain and improve the water quality of our lakes, rivers and streams.
Thank you for supporting me these eight years.
Sincerely, Nancy
