Ballots for the La Plata Electric Association board elections have been mailed. Please exercise your power to determine our energy future, protect our planet and foster the development of healthy, job-producing industries.
Folks who care about the environment and the economy want Kim elected to the LPEA board. We love our precious world and realize that the stakes are too high to continue on the path favored by incumbent LPEA board member, Davin Montoya. Kim has very strong support from the community because she wants to change direction away from LPEA’s dangerous policy.
Mr. Montoya has expertise in a past when fossil fuel technology made sense. So, he prefers burning coal, the most polluting energy source. This causes air and water pollution, increased respiratory problems for young and old and severe, economy-damaging weather impacts like drought.
Renewable energy prices are plummeting and will dominate the energy market within five years. Kim Martin isn’t afraid of new clean technologies, and sees their potential to stimulate our economy, protect our lives and environment.
A hard worker with many years of public service, Kim navigates complex policy issues well. Her commitment to public service at first glance is obviousfrom a resume as long as your arm.
Since 1978 she has continually been leading and serving, including assuming board leadership roles for Durango School District 9-R, Rivergate Planned Development Association, the League of Women Voters, Fort Lewis College Foundation, Tri-County Headstart, American Women’s Network and eight other boards.
Kim is clearly a committed team worker and effective leader ready to take on the challenging tasks of protecting the needs of our community.
Let’s vote for fresh air and Kim Martin for LPEA board in District 2!
