Candidate biography
Source-published biography
My leadership extends statewide and nationally: serving on the Washington State Association of Counties Board of Directors and Legislative Steering Committee, elected to the National Association of Counties (NACo) Western Interstate Region board, appointed vice chair of NACo’s Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee, and selected to serve on the federal Wildland Fire Leadership Council. I successfully gained support from commissioners across America in passing a resolution demanding federal agencies adhere to the Administrative Procedures Act, ensuring local input in rulemaking. I was grateful that President Trump signed an Executive order shortly after his inauguration which directed federal agencies to follow all applicable laws. I’ve worked to overturn the Biden administration’s attempt to introduce grizzly bears into the North Cascades in Washington, protecting farmers, ranchers, and communities from unnecessary risks to livestock, safety, and economic stability. I have met with the Trump Administration’s DOJ and EPA attorneys advocating to cease weaponizing deep-state-activist-made environmental rules against our local dairies and agriculture producers.
