Recognizing Chuck Winn's Service to the Delta

Please join us in thanking Chuck Winn for his service to the Delta. Winn is retiring from his 8-year term as Supervisor for San Joaquin County District 4. In this role, he also served on the Commission and Delta Counties Coalition. "We are going to miss Chuck," says Commission Executive Director Bruce Blodgett. "He was a dedicated leader who was always ready to protect the Delta."

Winn has a long history in public service. He previously served in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves, Ripon City Council, and California Highway Patrol, where he retired in 2005.

At the last meeting, the Commission recognized Winn for his roles as an advocate for the Delta and dedicated public servant. Winn said that he is looking forward to spending more time with his grandchildren.
