Mrs. Armitage is an experienced advocate for public health and as such, I can say that I completely trust her with the water that my family will be drinking. She is well-versed on water issues, is very hard-working, and cares deeply about the well-being of the residents of the Santa Clarita Valley. I cannot imagine a better candidate!"

- Katherine Solomon, Local Educator & Santa Clarita Resident

She has my full confidence and grateful support."

- Nancy Lambert, Stevenson Ranch Resident

 

“Kathye will prioritize public health and safe water. I trust her to be a voice for the community. She is eminently qualified with the education, advocacy experience, and personal grit our community needs to safeguard our families and the environment.”

“I happily endorse Kathye Armitage for Water Board. Her education, dedication and attention to detail will continue to benefit the community.”

- Karen Kafka, Teacher​ and Newhall Resident

​

“Kathye is one of the most hardworking and forthright people I know. She is someone who really gets in there and works on a problem, has the experience and drive to do what is necessary to learn something and come up with smart solutions. Her work with Mom's Demand Action and involvement in the community demonstrates her integrity and ability. Over her past experience on the Water Board, she has worked hard for her constituents, bringing compassion and intelligence. She is an effective concensus builder and cares about the environment and the people of Santa Clarita. I endorse Kathye for SCV Water Board!”

- Lisa M. McDougald, Writer/Publisher and Valencia Resident

​

“I have no doubt that Kathye will advocate for our community and our families as she sits on the SCV Water Board. She has always wanted to do what is best for our families and will research all the information necessary to make the best decisions for all of us. My son said it this way “Ms. Kathye is the only person who actually knows what she is talking about before she talks” because she educates herself before she makes important decisions. She has my vote, and both of my sons are excited to vote for her as well!!!”

- Sally Jo Liljedahl, Saugus Resident

 

“Kathye is, without a doubt, a person who cares about our community and environment. As a mom in Santa Clarita, she knows that the decisions government makes will have an impact on local families. I was Kathye's neighbor for several years, and I still remember her showing up at my doorstep asking if I might have a box to help her move an injured snake she found in the street by our house. (The snake was moved and, hopefully, slithered off to better days.) Small actions can make a big difference, and Kathye won't be afraid to jump in and work hard to ensure our families have clean water for years to come.”

- Kristin Conrad, Editor and Mom, Valencia Resident

 

“I am proudly endorsing Kathye Armitage for the SCV Water Board. I met Kathye 15 years ago, when she was my son’s Cub Scout co-leader. My son has multiple special needs, and she made sure he was always included and accepted in every activity. Due to her attitude about Mark, the other boys accepted and included him, as well. I’ve had the privilege of working alongside her in the work of a community group we both belong to. She is extraordinary in completely researching everything in which she involves herself, and definitely gives 100% of her abilities and efforts. She is involved in many facets of issues facing our community. She is eminently qualified for this position (see her education/background on her website), and is extremely smart, as well as dedicated to the idea that we and our children deserve clean, affordable water. She is a person of honesty and great integrity, and is a fierce advocate for all of us in this community.”

- Gayle Vogel, Saugus Resident
