About Stacy
The Importance of Water Stewardship
Water is a vital resource, constituting approximately 60% of the human body [1]. It plays a crucial role in regulating body temperature, maintaining healthy membranes, and flushing waste products. In essence, water is essential for human life and well-being. Therefore, responsible management and protection of this precious resource is paramount.
Addressing Water Management Challenges
Our community faces significant water management challenges. While the current board acknowledges the housing crisis, the focus appears to be on luxury developments that may not address the needs of the local workforce. Furthermore, concerns exist regarding the environmental impact of such projects, particularly in areas susceptible to natural hazards.
Promoting Sustainable Development
I am passionate about serving on the water board and advocating for a more sustainable approach to development. Sustainable development balances economic growth with environmental protection and responsible water management. This approach ensures we meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
Qualifications and Vision
My commitment lies in promoting responsible water management practices, prioritizing affordable housing options for the local workforce, and mitigating the environmental impact of development projects. While non-partisan, the board's decisions significantly impact our water resources. I believe in a holistic approach that considers the impact of development on our water supply and long-term sustainability. I am educated in water systems technology in a number of focus areas such as water distribution, water treatment, and wastewater.
Call to Action
I urge you to consider my candidacy for the water board. Together, we can work towards a future with responsible water management, sustainable development, and a thriving community.
Please honor me, as I humbly ask for your help, something I am not very good at. I am usually the one helping so this is awkward and uncomfortable for me, but I NEED HELP.
Help me to help you Santa Clarita, and I vow to be the best representative I can be for you. www.electstacyfortner.com
