Dublin San Ramon Services District Appoints New San Ramon Board Representative

SAN RAMON, CA — The Dublin San Ramon Services District swore in Edward Duarte to serve as the representative for Division 2, representing southwest San Ramon.

The seat has been vacant since August, when former Director Anne Marie Johnson resigned following her retirement. On Sept. 9, the board voted to fill the vacancy by direct appointment.

Duarte, who served on the DSRSD board from 2012 to 2020, will serve the second half of the remaining four-year term through December 2026. The next election for the District 2 seat will be in November 2026.

“I’m honored to return to the DSRSD Board and appreciate the trust the Board has placed in me,” Duarte said in a statement. “I’m excited to serve again and continue supporting the great work happening at DSRSD.”

Duarte has lived in San Ramon since 1979, according to a DSRSD news release. He was a general engineering contractor for over 50 years, and owned and operated a construction firm specializing in public works projects. He is also a member of the San Ramon Chamber of Commerce, and previously served on the San Ramon Citizen’s Advisory Committee for Redevelopment and the San Ramon Rotary.
