Meet Dan Jenkins
Dan Jenkins was elected to the West Valley Water District Board of Directors in 2022, representing Division 2 — the Cities of Rialto and Bloomington, along with the surrounding unincorporated communities of San Bernardino County.
Public service has been a constant throughout Dan's life. He earned the rank of Life Scout with the Boy Scouts of America and went on to volunteer with the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department's Citizens on Patrol program. In his career, Dan has worked in healthcare, taking on leadership roles including Lead Technologist and Unit Base Team Leader — work that's shaped his focus on care, compassion, and putting people first.
That same commitment carries into his water district service. As a leader with Water Education Latino Leaders (WELL), Dan works to keep water safe, reliable, and affordable, champions conservation, and helps build the next generation of water professionals through workforce development.
Outside of his professional and civic work, Dan volunteers with Planes of Fame and stays active with water polo, swimming, and the outdoors. He and his wife are raising three children, and that family life drives his commitment to smart growth, environmental stewardship, and a water future the whole community can count on.

- Drop boxes open weeks before Election Day.
- Ballots must be deposited by the close of polls on Election Day.
