As your elected Commissioner and long time resident of Coal Creek Utility District. It has been my honor to represent your best interest in all District issues that are dealt with throughout the years. You have my commitment that I will continue to seek the best, most-efficient solutions, and serve our community with honesty and integrity. It will be my responsibility to ensure that all options for future service have been evaluated, in the interest of the ratepayers, our community, environment and our future are considered. I will continue to work towards keeping water rates low to bring the best and most efficient technology to the district and provide the best service to all ratepayers. Together, we can continue working to make our community the kind of place where we can be proud to live, work and raise our family.
As a candidate for this position, you should know that I bring with me over two decades of water and wastewater experience. I have worked in the water/wastewater industry since 1994 as a licensed Treatment Plant Operator and Supervisor. My expertise has earned me jobs with Fortune 500 companies in Iraq and Afghanistan for over a decade through the US Department of Defense.
I have handled matters regarding quality control, water usage/storage/transportation, and Reverse Osmosis Water Purification. In these rugged environments, water production and the proper treatment of wastewater is crucial to our military.
Having retired from military contracting, I now work with my wife of 20 years, Yonghong Wang, operating Seven Stars Pepper Szechuan Restaurant in Seattle. If elected, I give you my word that our District will be a diverse public entity offering employment opportunities for all qualified applicants while keeping our rates as low as possible.
