Thanks to everyone who showed up for the nature walk today! It was a beautiful afternoon at Carlisle Lake, and we had some great conversations about rural parks and ways in which we might improve rural economies in Washington State.

The Ridgefield Waterfront is a beautiful place, and the vast majority of the people who live in this community want the waterfront to remain as it is.

Check out my booth from Squirrelfest this weekend! We finally got all my informational posters finalized and printed, and I had many, many great conversations with folks at the festival. There's a lot of excitement for outdoor adventure parks and industrial hemp production in Cowlitz County!

We've got to stop mega-warehouses from being built on the Chehalis River floodplain! Not only will this project flood peoples homes with displaced water, it will pave over the aquifer, destroy habitat, pollute the river, and clog the roads of Centralia with 1000 trucks per day.

If you're looking for yard signs and other campaign materials, swing by the Lewis County Democrats Booth at the Southwest Washington State Fair! I'll be there for a few hours on Saturday as well if you want to swing by and say Hi!

The people of Centralia, WA are fighting back against the horrifying plan to build mega-warehouses in Fords Prairie, on the banks of the Chehalis River (in the flood plain). They are holding a protest on August 22nd at George Washington Park! www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

If my opponent is indeed a "Friend of the Floodplains", what does he have to say about the Ford's Prairie Mega-Warehouse project, which would pave over a vast portion of the Chehalis River Floodplain?

As of the last update, I'm 9 points over where the last Democrat was who ran for the 20th LD in position 1. While I've got to win a lot more votes to pass my opponent, what we see now is real progress towards flipping this district blue.

Washington's Growth Management Act was a great piece of legislation, but it is in urgent need of an update. Suburban sprawl is running rampant in rural areas, paving over our fields and forests. We must enact changes to strengthen the GMA and put a stop to further sprawl.

Here's a rough concept sketch of one of the parks I want to create for rural communities. Kiona Peak Park would preserve this iconic peak overlooking Randle in Eastern Lewis County.

The plan to drill a new tunnel, build an industrial haul road, and lower the level of Spirit Lake would be absolutely catastrophic for the lake, the recovering blast zone, and for local communities. It would also waste hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars.

Happy independance day! Please think about all the animals (both wild and domestic) before you set off fireworks this 4th of July. This baby Robin has only just left the nest this morning, and he's being subjected to all the stress of a battlefield as people set off explosives all around.

This is the line for the bathrooms this morning at Paradise in Mt. Rainier National Park (MRNP webcam). The overcrowding problem in our National Parks has an obvious solution: build new large, wild parks nearer to our towns and cities.

It's unfortunate that @governorferguson.bsky.social has chosen to recruit representatives from entrenched corporate entities such as Amazon, Microsoft, T-Mobile, and Boeing for inclusion on his "Economic Development Council". This group is nothing more than an echo chamber of the establishment.

It was great to have the opportunity to talk to so many folks at the Longview Pride Festival this weekend! It was wonderful to see people get excited about parks, industrial hemp, and various rural revitalization measures in Southwest Washington. It sparked many constructive conversations.

If you want an idea of what a sad condition Washingnton's passenger rail network is in, just look at the horrendous delay which has been inflicted upon passengers headed East from Seattle on Amtrak's Empire Builder this evening.

Out bringing in the hay this week! Southwest Washington is home to some of the most productive and beautiful farmland in the state, but that precious heritage is at risk as more of these fertile lands are buried beneath suburbs, warehouses, and strip malls each year.

The Nippon-Dynawave disaster is a tragedy which we need to learn from. We need to seek out industries that don't pose so great a threat to workers and communities, and employers which will place a higher value on the health and safety of their employees. www.kuow.org/stories/mult...

It is heartening to see college students reject the charlatans peddling AI & data centers. Americans don't want this job-killing, water-hogging, power-guzzling, noisy, polluting tech that is paving over our landscapes while providing no benefit to anyone other than corporations & the ultra wealthy.

I grew up in Toutle in the years after Mt. St. Helens erupted, many of the trees growing tall in the Monument today are the same age as I, and some of my earliest memories are of the beautiful desolation of the area in the 90s.

I've spent today preparing campaign materials. By November, I plan to have published concept documents outlining new parks for every rural community in the 20th Legislative District, which I'm realizing is quite a monumental task!
