goldmarkportrait2.jpgI have been actively campaigning for more than six months now and the one question that I hear time and time again is, “Who is the Commissioner of Public Lands?”
The Commissioner of Public Lands is an office that dramatically impacts our quality of life, rural economies, and natural environment each and every day. The Commissioner oversees more than 5 million acres of state forests, agricultural, range and aquatic lands.  The Commissioner also manages the state’s largest fire department and produces an important revenue stream for school and university capitol construction accounts through the management of state trust lands. 

With so much at stake under pressures from a growing population, climate change and a fluctuating economy, it is critical that Washington voters elect a Lands Commissioner with a commitment to long-term sustainability—for trust revenues, jobs, recreation, fish and wildlife habitat, and ecological protection. 

It is time for a change of leadership in our Department of Natural Resources.   

As a lifelong rancher, longtime rural school board member, former WSU regent and state Director of Agriculture, I have the leadership experience needed to take on this important job-and to make some critical changes. I’ll bring a unique perspective to the office—a voice for all of Washington, for long-term conservation goals, and sustainable resources and revenues for our communities and educational institutions.  It is vital that we treat our public lands as a long-term resource, to keep Washington's forests and fields healthy.

 

Thank you for your support.

 

Sincerely,
