Meet the District Slate Members

SRP 2026

SRP is made up of two elected bodies: the Association, which manages water, and the District, which manages power. Landowners vote for leaders in both groups, including board members, council members, and at-large officers. Our team runs in both the Association and District so we can protect Arizona’s water and power together, from source to service.

District 2

Meet the leaders representing District 2! Board candidate Paul Rovey and Council members Gerald Geiger, Suzanne Naylor, and William Sheely bring a wealth of experience in agriculture, business, and community service. Together, they’re committed to protecting Arizona’s water and power future through steady, proven leadership.
