For decades, these two people repeatedly have demonstrated compassion, vision and leadership in our community. Their experience of successful business management is exactly the kind of skill good board members need at La Plata Electric. We certainly are lucky that such fine people will step forward to unselfishly offer their time and experience for the benefit of all of us.

Please join us in voting for Jim Wotkyns (District 3, Durango) and Karen Barger (District 4, north and east La Plata County) for La Plata Electric Association board of directors. They each have the skill sets and the vision to move us into the electrical future through balanced, thoughtful and effective leadership.

If they are willing to set aside hundreds of hours per year out of their busy schedules for us, the least we can do is find the LPEA ballot that comes in the mail and vote for them. Good governance starts by electing good people.
