Mortay Mendoza (for Executive Board)
My name is Mortay Mendoza and I thank you for the nomination and consideration to run for re-election for the EBMUD AFSCME Local 2019 Board of Directors. I have served as 2nd Vice President of the Executive Board of Directors for Local 1 AFSCME in Contra Costa County, a 5000 member union. I currently serve on the EBMUD Board of Directors and negotiation team. I am looking forward to progressing our union forward as laws and regulations change while maintaining fluid union operations and making sound decisions. If elected, I look forward to serving the union in a higher capacity for years to come.
Thank you,
Mortay Mendoza

Ron Lastimosa (for Shop Steward)
Hello, my name is Ron Lastimosa. I have been with EBMUD and Local 2019 for the last seven years. I have twenty years of experience in the mortgage/real estate industry and majored in Finance at the University of San Francisco.
I have extensive experience in resolving conflict with city/county tax departments, title companies, agents, attorneys and customers. I accepted this nomination because I’m proud of what L2019 has done for me and my family and I wanted to return the favor, roll up my sleeves and “kick in” for the cause by helping solidify the union’s support of its member in this capacity.. I hope you find that I can be impartial, non-biased and forthright in representing our union members..thank you for your time..
