Beth Braunstein
Candidate for Board of Directors of SCV Water Agency,
Division 1

Beth Braunstein loves Santa Clarita. She loves her community, her farm, and the small-town/big-city feel.
She cares deeply about this valley and it’s residents.
But Santa Clarita has problems. Our water is threatened by over-development and contamination. Our rates are going up again next year and our groundwater is dwindling.
It’s time for fresh ideas.
Beth is running on a platform of science, environmentalism, transparency, and compassion. Clean, affordable water is a right.
Beth is running to make sure the Board doesn’t serve as a rubber stamp for developers and special interests. She’s running a grassroots campaign, taking donations only from real people, not corporations. Her only special interest is to serve our community.
