Strong for the Environment
Clean water and our public lands are critical to the well-being, quality of life and economic prosperity of our entire state. That rings every bit as true here in our back yard of District 48. As a citizen, business owner and sportsman I have always been proactive and strong on environmental issues. That philosophy has carried through in my time as your state Senator.
