"I'm proud to have the support of community, environmental and business leaders, current and former public officials"

Steve Kinsey, Marin County Supervisor
"For many years,  Cynthia Koehler has been an effective and respected Bay Area environmental leader, helping to shape sound water policy for California. We need her experience, dedication and skill on the MMWD Board."

Mike Spear, Regional Director, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for California (retired)
"I enthusiastically support Cynthia's campaign to become a Director of the Marin Municipal Water District.  She  will be an asset to the people of Marin as a Water District Director" More...

Randele Kanouse, Special Assistant to the General Manager, East Bay Municipal Utility District
"Based on my work with Cynthia Koehler over the past decade on many of California’s most important water resource issues, I’ve observed that she is a dedicated and effective champion for ensuring that Californians will enjoy safer drinking water supplies, while at the same time ensuring that our natural environment is restored and protected for the benefit of future generations.  Cynthia has proven time and time again that it’s possible to achieve both of these objectives in crafting water management practices."

Dr. Peter Gleick, President, Pacific Institute, 2003 MacArthur Fellow
"At long last water has taken its rightful place as an issue of critical concern. And at long last, we have a water board candidate who understands and cares about preserving and protecting this critical resource. I look forward to the day when every water board in the state has someone with the statute, knowledge, and insights of Cynthia Koehler protecting the public interest. A vote for Koehler is a vote for safe, reliable, and efficient water resources."

David Lewis, Executive Director, Save San Francisco Bay Association
"Save The Bay does not endorse candidates for office, but as an individual I am a strong supporter of Cynthia Koehler's candidacy for the Marin Municipal Water District Board.  In my work as Executive Director of Save The Bay, I have been extremely impressed with Cynthia as one of the brightest, most articulate and hard working advocates in the entire state of California for smart water policies. There is no question that she is uniquely qualified and would bring new energy and insight to the MMWD Board, and develop creative approaches to help Marin use its water wisely and efficiently, for the
benefit of consumers and the environment."

Dan Sullivan, Environmental Activist
"I think [Cynthia] would be a very capable and effective member of the board, bringing an environmental perspective to the challenge of maintaining environmental values while also meeting Marin's water supply needs and preserving the MMWD lands, which are such an important recreational resource for the entire Bay area."

Fran Spivy-Weber, Executive Director, Mono Lake Committee
"We have worked together on many water-related issues, and [Cynthia] has been consistently creative and constructive in finding ways to supply water for people and the environment. Finding solutions to potential environment/human conflicts over water is becoming the role of Water Boards throughout the state. Marin Municipal Water District customers will be well-served to have your talent working for them."

Barbara Salzman, Marin County Environmental Activist
"Cynthia is smart, articulate, will bring a depth of knowledge to the Board and has a strong environmental approach. I have not supported a candidate for many years. I would certainly recommend her."

Marie Kerpan, Green Careers
"Of the two candidates, Cynthia has far more environmental and water-related experience. She has been an environmental attorney and policy analyst specializing in water and coastal issues for 18 years.  Water issues are complex technically, legally, environmentally and politically. It's crucial that we elect someone to the water board who has the experience, expertise and contacts to hit the ground running and provide sophisticated guidance and leadership."
