I am an avid hiker and backpacker who partakes on the beauty of our forests and parks.
I am also an Army veteran and military spouse. We chose to stay in this great state because of its mountains, forests and rivers. The preservation and management of our public lands for the benefit of all the people in Washington, but especially our region, is a serious and personal issue.
This is why Dave Upthegrove is the clear choice as public lands commissioner. His education and experience in government, conservation and forestry make him the best candidate for this important position.
His opponent voted repeatedly in Congress to weaken the clean air and clean water laws and opposed the Paris Climate Accords.
She is also voting yes to Initiative 2117, which repeals Washington’s Climate Commitment Act and would decrease funding for investments in transportation, clean air, renewable energy, conservation and emissions reduction.
Dave Upthegrove’s priorities are clean air and water, salmon recovery, fire prevention and recreation. The choice is quite clear for Washington’s future.
