Dear Mayor Cownie,

We, the undersigned Des Moines Water Works ratepayers, support Cherie Mortice for Des Moines Water Works Board of Trustees.

Clean water is vitally important.

Bill Stowe and the Des Moines Water Works Board have a tradition of putting ratepayers and our water quality first.

We believe that adding Cherie to the board would continue that tradition -- especially as Water Works faces tough decisions on how to deal with Iowa's clean water crisis, including pollution to our source water caused by corporate agriculture.

Cherie has a track record of fighting for Des Moines neighborhoods, DMWW rate payers, and for clean water across the state.

We encourage you to appoint Cherie to the Water Works Board of Trustees!

Cherie Mortice for Des Moines Water Works Board of Trustees
