The Los Angeles League of Conservation Voters (LALCV), that supports pro-environmental candidates throughout Los Angeles County, announces its endorsement of Amy Chen for Foothill Municipal Water District, Division Four.
The Foothill Municipal Water District delivers imported water to retail water agencies in a twenty-two square mile region of the San Gabriel Mountain foothills, supplying more than half of the region’s water demands. Managing drinking water distribution for this population, including people impacted by the 2025 Eaton Canyon fire, demands innovative leadership.
“Amy Chen will bring a strong track record of drinking water and environmental policy leadership to the Foothill MWD. Her statewide experience, commitment to evidence-based decision making about infrastructure investments, and experience in climate-resilient water planning make her an ideal water board member, and we are proud to endorse her,” stated Maro Kakoussian, President, LALCV.
“I’m honored to receive LALCV’s endorsement. After 40 years working in California water, I know that protecting our water future and protecting our environment go hand in hand. We need to use the water we have wisely, invest in sustainable and reliable water supplies, and make thoughtful long-term decisions that protect our environment and provide reliable, affordable water for generations to come.”, stated Amy Chen.
