Key Issues for District 5
Real solutions to the real problems facing Calaveras County families — with zero conflicts of interest.
Issue #1
Stop Skyrocketing Calaveras County Water Rate Hikes
The Problem: Calaveras families are getting hammered by rising water bills — another big hike is coming. The current Supervisor collected a paycheck from the Calaveras County Water District while these increases were approved. He had zero incentive to fight for you.
Clyde's Solution: Clyde Clapp has no ties and zero conflict of interest. He will watchdog the water district, demand full transparency, chase federal grants through Congressman Tom McClintock, and fight every unnecessary hike.
"Your water bill should not line someone else's pockets."

Issue #2
Restore Local Control Over Rancho Calaveras Roads
The Problem: You pay a special road tax every year — yet our roads are potholed, cracked, and unsafe. The current Supervisor let crews tear up roads for repairs and left them poorly patched, then abolished CSA 1 — taking away your voice and your local control.
Clyde's Solution: Clyde will immediately re-establish CSA 1 so Rancho Calaveras residents decide how our roads get fixed. Your taxes, your roads, your decision — not a bureaucrat's.
"Local taxes. Local roads. Local control."
Clyde lives here with you. If we work together as a team, we can finally get the job done!

Issue #3
Put Your Taxes to Work
2018 — Clyde Left Office
$20M+
Budget Surplus
2026 — Today
Deficit
Structural Shortfall
The Problem: When Clyde left office in 2018, Calaveras County had a $20+ million surplus. Eight years later under the current Supervisor, we have a structural deficit and crumbling roads. Where did the money go?
Clyde's Solution: Clyde will restore fiscal responsibility so your hard-earned tax dollars deliver real results for District 5 — not waste or special interests. Full transparency. Independent audits. Real accountability.
"No more deficits. No more excuses. Real results."
