Karen “K. E.” Coleman, El Dorado County Treasurer‑Tax Collector (Retired), Former EID Billing Supervisor & Senior Accountant
As the retired Treasurer‑Tax Collector for El Dorado County, and as someone who previously served the El Dorado Irrigation District as a Billing Supervisor and Senior Accountant responsible for Capital Improvement Accounting, I have had the opportunity to observe firsthand the importance of strong fiscal oversight, responsible infrastructure planning, and transparent public service. Based on my professional experience and familiarity with EID’s operational and financial needs, I endorse Lori for continued service on the EID Board of Directors. Lori has consistently demonstrated a commitment to fiscal responsibility, long‑term infrastructure reliability, and transparent decision‑making—priorities that directly support our district's stability and sustainability. Her voting record reflects thoughtful consideration of capital improvement needs, water reliability, and modernizing customer service. These are critical issues that affect every ratepayer and every household in our community. I believe Lori approaches her role with professionalism, diligence, and a clear understanding of the complex financial and operational challenges facing EID. Her work aligns with the values of accountability and stewardship that I have upheld throughout my own career in public service. For these reasons, I am proud to offer my endorsement.
Leadership and Mutual concerns
Working with other Water District Board members and other adjacent agencies is an important part of being on the EID board. Representatives and their elected officials can bring together our knowledge of history, legislation, and funding opportunities so all ratepayers can benefit.
