CWAG is nonpartisan, but all water issues are political. The purpose of the candidate forums is to insert water policy into our political and electoral dialogue and to inform voters and candidates about water issues.
CWAG is a local citizens group advocating for a sustainable water future for the Prescott region and central Yavapai County, and for the protection of the upper Verde River. For more information, visit www.cwagaz.org, call 928-445-4218, or email
