Editor,
We do not talk enough about life’s most vital resource — water.
Editor,
We do not talk enough about life’s most vital resource — water.
Laura Parmer-Lohan, candidate for the San Mateo County Supervisors D3 seat, will focus on addressing the impacts of climate change. She has signaled her commitment to mitigating the effects of severe drought by advocating for the use of recycled/reclaimed water.
Climate change and a growing understanding of the current distribution of the state’s annual production of freshwater require that there be a reallocation between three essential uses: urban/industrial, agriculture and maintaining a vibrant environment for all of California’s wild flora and fauna.
Hardening water treatment facilities in the coastal zone against sea level rise and coastal flooding, both consequences of climate change, makes public water infrastructure even more of an issue for those of us living on the coast in San Mateo County.
Based on discussions with Laura and as someone who has been elected to several terms as a director of a coastal public water utility, I am convinced that Laura understands the issues and will champion the policies needed to meet these challenges.

I totally agree that we have no stronger champion for the climate than Laura Parmer-Lohan who is running for the 3rd District.[beam] In addition to her stance on climate change, she is also a very approachable woman who listens deeply and is very skillful when it comes to getting things done. I truly hope she gets elected. We could use her kind of strength!
