Agriculture
I am a strong advocate for the farmers and ranchers of Eastern Washington. I believe in protecting our agricultural supply chain and boosting market access while supporting timber communities and improving forest health. Additionally, I emphasize the importance of securing our farmland and encouraging active management of forest lands to reduce wildfire risk and revitalize rural communities.
