Upthegrove for public lands

Our public forests are not the property of major corporations and should be managed by someone not beholden to them. Public Lands Commissioner candidate Jaime Herrera-Beutler has consistently championed the timber industry’s talking points because they are her funders: Weyerhaeuser alone contributed $225,000 to her campaign. She has a terrible environmental voting record: while in Congress, she voted repeatedly to weaken Clean Air and Clean Water laws and opposed the Paris Climate Accords. She’s voting YES on Initiative 2117, which repeals Washington’s Climate Commitment Act.

Dave Upthegrove believes that our public lands should be managed for the benefit of all the people of Washington. He has not taken money from the timber industry. When Dave was in the Washington Legislature, he was Washington Conservation Voters Legislator of the Year. His priorities are clean air and water, salmon recovery, fire prevention and recreation. He is endorsed by the WA Firefighters. Vote Upthegrove to keep the lands public!
