I endorse John Purser for La Plata Electric Association board of directors, District 4. Our energy supply options are changing rapidly. Distributed power produced by a variety of generation companies is in the future. We want our local LPEA board to choose affordable, reliable and renewable power supplies that make sense for our current day needs, and energy options for our abilities to thrive down the road.
John made a career in the tech industry and is well-acquainted with critical analysis. The first time I heard John give a presentation about possible climate solutions, I was impressed not only with his speaking, commitment and enthusiasm, but I also learned that his college degree was in environmental economics. He takes all sides into account as he keeps in mind that strategic goal of LPEA – to strive to reduce its carbon footprint by 50% from 2018 levels by year 2030, while keeping members cost of electricity lower than 70% of our Colorado peers.
John has lived in Durango for 19 years. He has demonstrated commitment, discipline, hard work and vigor by riding in the Iron Horse Bicycle Classic for most of his time being a Durango resident and enthusiast.
John values fiscal and environmental responsibility. He values equitable solutions that are fair and impartial. John will insist that the metrics and costs are transparent to members before major decisions are made. Send in your LPEA ballot and vote for John Purser!
