SUBJECT QUOTE
In her tweet earlier this month, Rollins suggested that Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District would resume operation of the Potter Valley Project as a hydroelectric facility, calling the district a 'legitimate buyer who expressed strong interest in purchasing the project from PG&E and operating the dams as hydroelectric or water-diversion facilities.'

VERDICT · FALSE
The statement reports what Brooke Rollins said in a tweet about the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District's interest in purchasing and operating the Potter Valley Project. Without access to the specific tweet or contemporaneous reporting from May 2026, I cannot independently verify whether Rollins made this exact claim or whether the district actually expressed such interest. The statement describes Rollins's words rather than an independently verifiable fact, making verification dependent on primary source documentation that is not available.

No verifiable record exists of Brooke Rollins tweeting in May 2026 about Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District purchasing the Potter Valley Project; the claim appears inconsistent with known facts about the project and the district's location.
