Campaign website
Anderson's campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
CLIMATE SECURITY I believe climate change is the salient global issue of this generation. All Washingtonians deserve easy and equal access to clean air, clean water, and healthy streams, wetlands, and forests on Public Lands. Healthy, well-maintained forests reduce wildfire risk and smoke. Washington's precious natural resources and public lands should be safe and accessible to residents and visitors of all ages and abilities. As Commissioner, recognizing, honoring and including the ancestral knowledge and experience of Washington's tribal communities in caring for and maintaining our Public Lands is a top priority.
As Commissioner, I am committed to holding polluters accountable. We must clean up pollution that has caused environmental inequities harming indigenous peoples and communities of color. I believe living in Washington should be affordable and secure for all ages and abilities, and doing business with the Department of Natural Resources should be profitable and purposeful but not at the expense of people and wildlife. I am committed to working with law enforcement to reduce trafficking of people and resources within the state.
I believe in creating an inclusive and respectful work environment for everyone, removing barriers to success, no matter who you are, what you look like, or who you love. In a rapidly changing economy, we need fair, living wages for families. First responders should be able to afford to live locally, so that they can be moments away in a disaster. We must create good jobs by accelerating a clean and just transition toward green energy infrastructure. I support hiring locally from the community, community workforce agreements, and prioritizing small, women-owned and disadvantaged businesses for government contracts. I also support community awareness and education in climate sciences, especially to encourage more young women and girls to engage in STEM fields. [2] |
