I would like to congratulate Randy and Kelly on retaining their seats on the South Tahoe Public Utility Board. I am certain that their future decisions will be in the best interest of our community. I also commend Kirk David for running in this campaign.
My family and I put many hours into this campaign and I hope that at least I was able to spread some awareness about the STPUD Board and the decisions they and our community face.
I am very thankful to my family, friends and everyone who supported, encouraged and voted for me during this campaign.

Dear South Lake Tahoe Community,
I first met Nick Exline at an event where we had the opportunity to meet Democratic congressional candidate Dr. Bob Derlet. Nick asked about carbon markets and the related benefits to our Sierra Nevada economy. As a watershed scientist, I was impressed by Nick’s informed and thoughtful question. I enjoyed meeting a South Lake Tahoe resident who possessed a strong background in environmental science, as well as a thoughtful man who had ideas about how we could turn our largest obstacles in this region into economic successes for our residents.
