Carlos Duran: Unleash the Valley's Power
From reporting the truth to fighting for it. Carlos Duran is the independent voice needed to reform the IID.
The Mission
A Mandate for Reform
Carlos Duran has spent years investigating IID mismanagement. His campaign is built on four core pillars: Jobs, Smart Growth, Accountability, and Ratepayers Come First.
Why it matters
The incumbent represents the entrenched establishment responsible for the 69% rate hikes and the deployment of the $4 billion "poison pill" against new investment. Duran is the only candidate committed to reversing these failures.
Protecting Ratepayers Means Embracing Technology
Duran recognizes that industrial projects capable of self-funding infrastructure—like the $10 billion data center—are the only mathematical mechanism available to reverse the rate hikes crushing local families.
The Strategy
By leveraging the Imperial Valley’s unique energy position, we can dictate terms to Silicon Valley, extracting massive civic subsidies akin to the successful Loudoun County model.
