Leslie Jordan has a long and varied career as a water resource specialist, with expert knowledge in water treatment, environmental awareness, and hazardous materials. Currently a water resources specialist with MCSI Water Systems, Jordan has also held similar positions with Gavilan College, Carmel Area Wastewater District, and California American Water. Repairing San Juan Bautista's poor water quality has been a main concern for its leaders, and Jordan is committed to work “one step at a time” resolving the city's high nitrate levels, which can threaten the safety of drinking water. Jordan told San Benito Live that San Juan Bautista has some “big issues for a small town.”
