Candidate Statement

By Brian F. Holloway

Candidate for Trustee; American River Flood Control District

This information is provided by the candidate
I am a life-long resident of Sacramento living within the floodplain. I will continue to work to guarantee that our levees receive the best maintenance, highest level of repair and maximum reinforcement in order to keep you, your family and your home safe from floods. And as we invest in our levee system, please be assured that I will continue to make sure taxpayer dollars are spent wisely. I pledge to keep taxes low and flood protection high.
As a life-long resident of Sacramento, I have seen first hand the effects catastrophic flooding can have on communities, neighborhoods, businesses and families. As a resident living within the floodplain, I wish to continue my work ensuring that the levees that protect us remain strong and impenetrable.

Our levees need to continue to be properly maintained, protected from erosion and supported by the numerous local, state and federal agencies that must work together on a moment's notice to respond to emergencies that threaten our safety and our levees.

I have over 35 years of community service to Sacramento. I have chaired the Sacramento City Planning Commission, the City-County Housing and Redevelopment Commission, the Mayor's Development Oversight Commission and the Sacramento Private Industry Council. As a current Trustee of the American River Flood Control District, I have worked hard to obtain federal and state funds for flood prevention, ensured our levees are well maintained and highly secure and worked to facilitate cooperation among flood protection entities.

If reelected as a Trustee of the American River Flood Control District, I will continue my efforts towards a safe flood control system for everyone. I would appreciate your support on November 4th.
