The Democratic Club’s next voter information meeting will be on Wednesday, July 17, in Clubhouse 3, Room 3, at 1 p.m. All interested LW Democrats and supporters are welcome to attend. Advance reservation is not required, but more information is available by calling 562-594-9148 or emailing Beverleybender@ gmail.com.
The guest speaker for the July 17 meeting will be Karl Seckel, who will address issues related to water. Seckel is running in November for re-election to represent LW’s Division 4 on the Municipal Water District of Orange County (MWDOC). MWDOC provides imported water resources and other services to 27 water agencies and Orange County cities with a combined population of 2.4 million. Seckel was first elected to the MWDOC board in 2020 with the assistance of the LW Democratic Club. He is a registered professional engineer with 45 years of professional water-related expertise. Before being elected to the board, he completed a 37-year tenure as an employee of the district. While there, he was responsible for planning, engineering, emergency preparedness management, and special studies to improve and enhance water supply reliability.
