Alexi Miller is leading the race for the citywide at-large seat on the Eugene Water & Electric Board with 67.8% of the vote against contender Eric Dziura’s 31.7%, according to early results released at 8 p.m. Tuesday, May 19.
The five-member board acts as the representative legislative body for the utility’s customer-owners. Four commissioners represent eight wards throughout Eugene, including John Brown, who is running unopposed for the seat representing city Wards 4 and 5.
The at-large seat represents customers across the city and is held by outgoing Commissioner Mindy Schlossberg.
Commissioners serve four-year terms and are responsible for guiding EWEB’s strategic direction, approving the annual budget, setting electric and water rates, and hiring and evaluating the general manager. They do not receive a salary or a stipend for their service, but they can be reimbursed for relevant expenses.
Miller is an engineer and the director of building innovation at the New Buildings Institute. In an interview leading up to the election, Miller told Lookout Eugene-Springfield as commissioner his priorities would include affordability, environmental protection and clean energy, and resilience and reliability.
Neither Miller nor Dziura returned Lookout Eugene-Springfield’s calls Tuesday as of 9 p.m.
