Protect and Secure Yuma’s Water Future

Water is essential to the quality of life, economic stability, and long-term growth of our community. Yuma’s future depends on protecting our access to reliable water resources while planning responsibly for the next generation. As mayor of Yuma, I will prioritize protecting our water rights and ensuring that our city continues to have the resources needed to support both our residents and our economy.

​

Protect Yuma’s Water Rights

Yuma has historically played an important role in the management and use of Colorado River water. I will work with regional, state, and federal partners to ensure that Yuma’s water rights remain protected. Maintaining these rights is essential for our agricultural economy, local businesses, and the continued growth of our city.

​

Long-Term Water Planning

Responsible leadership requires planning for the future. I support developing long-term strategies that look ahead at least twenty years to ensure that Yuma’s growth aligns with reliable water availability. Planning ahead allows the city to grow responsibly while protecting the resources our community depends on.

Community Education and Awareness

Water policy can often be complex, but residents should understand how it affects their community. I will support efforts to educate residents about Yuma’s water rights, how our water system works, and why protecting these resources is important for our future.
