Help us get ready for Spencer Roozen, Skagit's new PUD Commissioner!

Donate

Skagit PUD Commissioner's job is to make sure the PUD works with the farmers, families, businesses, and cities it serves, to ensure the PUD works for you. That takes experience advocating and negotiating: never polarizing or divisive, never isolated or disconnected from the rest of Skagit County, but engaged and representative of YOUR needs.


What you need in the next PUD Commissioner is an experienced advocate who will effectively PARTNER with you, the PUD, and city and county leaders to negotiate DOWN water rates, defend Skagit water from special interests like data centers, give farmers a real voice on water policy, and ensure there’s water at every fire hydrant in Skagit County.


That’s the experience I bring.


I grew up on a Skagit County farm and studied Agriculture and Business, so I have decades of experience understanding what farmers are up against and defending and advocating on their behalf. 


As a real estate broker for 12 years, I’ve brought hundreds of buyers and sellers of different backgrounds and expectations together to reach agreements that are fair for all.


I’ve served on the boards of Camp Fire Samish, the North Puget Sound Association of Realtors, and Skagit Rotary, where I represented their mission and vision effectively across the county. 


That’s why Commissioners Ron Wesen and Peter Browning, the Democratic Party, and more than 70 Skagit community leaders (and growing) have put their names behind my campaign.


The PUD’s hardest decisions are ahead of us. I’ll bring people together to make them.

Experience matters. Let’s put it to work for all of Skagit. I’d be honored to have your vote.

Spencer's Platform

Affordability

Water rates are up 34% over six years — far outpacing inflation. Spencer will treat rate hikes as a last resort, not routine, by:

  • Investigating whether increases are truly necessary and pursuing state/federal grants as alternatives
  • Publishing a line-item cost breakdown before every rate vote
  • Creating a plain-language public dashboard so ratepayers can actually understand where their money goes

Not One Drop

Skagit water should serve Skagit first — not outside special interests like data centers. Spencer will:

  • Require public hearings before any major new water deal
  • Prioritize existing users (farms, families, instream flows) over new industrial customers
  • Make large new users fund their own infrastructure instead of drawing on shared capacity
  • Support tribal fishing rights, and treaty protected flows.
  • End backroom deals — public notice and comment before any Commission vote on water use changes

Farmers Are Not Left Behind

Skagit Valley farmers deserve a real voice in water planning. Spencer will:

  • Establish standing farmer input on water decisions, not just annual comment periods
  • Expand and speed up the seasonal water-transfer program for farmers outside the Anacortes system
  • Push multi-year water outlooks so farmers can plan before planting
  • Publicly track water shortfalls to keep pressure on solutions

Fire Protection

As wildfire risk grows, Spencer will push for:

  • A district-wide review of hydrant capacity and fire flow, especially in older/rural areas
  • Real funding and timelines for fixing fire-flow-deficient areas
  • Fire flow verification before approving new development
  • Backup power for pumps/wells in high-risk areas so outages don't cut water pressure
  • Ongoing coordination with local fire departments

Local Roots, Trusted Leadership

My Commitment to You

I care deeply about the future of our community. My roots here have shaped my commitment to public service, responsible leadership, and protecting the quality of life that makes Skagit County such a special place to live.


Throughout my career I have been actively involved in organizations that strengthen our community and support local families. I have served on multiple boards, including Camp Fire Samish and the North Puget Sound Association of Realtors, where I continue to work collaboratively to support community growth, leadership, and service. In addition, I have proudly been a member of Skagit Rotary for the past 10 years, helping give back through volunteerism and local initiatives.


As a P.U.D Commissioner I will bring a strong work ethic, rate transparency, and a practical approach to decision-making. I am committed to ensuring reliable utility services, responsible stewardship of public resources, and thoughtful planning that benefits both current and future generations of Skagit County residents.
