Barney Dewey supports California’s transition to 100% clean energy. He is running for a seat on the Truckee Donner PUD board to:
- Make sure Truckee’s transition to clean energy happens in ways that make sense for Truckee residents, and
- Make sure proven successful technologies are in use to harden Truckee’s power infrastructure against wildfire.
Barney Dewey is a recognized expert in the field of wireless communication, a father and grandfather, and a committed community volunteer. He has worked in technical engineering and senior marketing positions for Apple, Motorola and several Bay Area startups.
