“I am endorsing Rebecca Saldaña because of her statewide perspective and strong leadership in the environmental movement. Very few politicians pay attention to Central Washington and understand the needs of families out here; Rebecca does and has always made time to listen to our perspective. As an activist, the work Rebecca has done in the non-profit and advocacy spheres precedes her. There is no one more widely trusted. Rebecca is an incredible community leader, political representative, and the perfect choice for Commissioner of Public Lands. ”
