| Collapse all
For 18 years in the Washington State Legislature I’ve represented the beautiful Olympic Peninsula and the 24th Legislative District, comprising the largest wildland area in the state. I served five terms in the State House of Representatives, where I was the Majority Whip. I am now finishing up my second and final term in the State Senate, where I chair the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Water, Natural Resources, and Parks. I have served on natural resource committees for the entirety of my career as a legislator.
I’m an advocate for our state’s natural resources and wildlife, and among many accomplishments, have passed legislation to secure a rescue tug boat at Neah Bay to reduce the likelihood of oil spills and marine accidents, negotiated to help keep state parks open during difficult economic times, and worked to implement International Wildland Urban Interface Code into the State Building Code to help our state address the growing concern of wildland fire.- The Commissioner of Public Lands is in charge of Washington’s wildfire fighting force and manages 6 million acres of public lands, including forests, coastal waters and aquatic zones, farms, commercial developments and recreational areas. I’ve been preparing for this role my entire life. I’ve been a firefighter for 30 years. In the State Senate, I represent the 24th district on the Olympic Peninsula which includes the largest wildland area in the state. I also chair the Committee on Agriculture, Water, Natural Resources & Parks. I am the most experienced candidate in the race, with nearly two decades crafting state policies on natural resources in the House and Senate, and an entire career dedicated to fighting fires, including wildfires.
- Wildfires are the greatest threat to our public lands and contribute immensely to climate change. Wildfires have destroyed 8.5 million acres of land over the past two decades. I’m running for Commissioner to develop critical solutions to reduce the presence and impact of wildfires. I’ll create a more professional and appreciated firefighting force that is better equipped to respond to wildfire. I will restore thousands of acres of healthy forests which are more resilient to fire. I’ll identify at risk and decaying lands and manage these areas so they are less prone to burn. I’ll equip rural communities with tools they need to be protected by launching community programs to reduce the presence of human caused fires.
- Both as a firefighter and State Senator, I believe in public service. Washington is an incredible place with natural treasures that I’ve worked to protect. I’ve collaborated with organizations and businesses to promote recreation, create and manage healthy forests, and keep our waterways clean for future generations. I’ve built relationships with all different people and groups with a stake in our public lands – rural, urban, tribal, commercial, recreational, environmental, and more. I'm endorsed by Secretary of State Steve Hobbs, Senate Majority leader Andy Billig, State Council of Firefighters, State Farm Bureau, State Employees, Building Trades, S'Klallam and Snoqualmie tribes, environmentalists, local businesses, farmers, and more.
I have made countless contributions and investments in my community as a state legislator, but the contributions I’m most proud of come from my work as a firefighter in Sequim. I now serve as Captain protecting the Olympic Peninsula and families in Sequim, and I take great pride in the work that I do. I have seen people in my community tear up when they see me. Visitors stop by the fire station with a cake for their "new" birthday, the day we saved their life. Saving lives and delivering for my community is something I never get tired of.

Van De Wege’s campaign website stated the following:

Wildfires and forest health top list of priorities Our abundant natural resources make Washington a stunningly beautiful state, but we can do ever better. And the first place I’d start is by preventing and suppressing the deadly wildfires that ravage our forests and contaminate our air. The toll from wildfires goes far beyond the devastation of trees and outdoor splendor that shapes our stunning Pacific Northwest landscape. Wildfires cost lives and property, and fill our skies with haze and toxins instead of the clean air essential to our everyday health. As wildfires have escalated in frequency and intensity, so has the need to take the actions necessary to prevent them. And the swiftest, surest action our state can take is to improve the health of our forests. Healthy forests will mean fewer and smaller wildfires – and cleaner air even in communities far from the fires themselves.
As Washingtonians, we take great pride in our state for a very obvious reason – it’s one of the most desirable areas in which to live and work in the nation. Increasingly, however, living here is becoming harder to afford. And nowhere is this challenge more present than in our rural communities where good-paying jobs can be scarce. For generations, our state’s abundant natural resources have provided a wealth of recreational and employment opportunities. Over time, though, the number and quality of jobs in our rural communities have dwindled. We face a stark choice. We can do nothing, as has too often been the case, and hope for the best. Or we can manage our state lands in ways that take advantage of opportunities to create good jobs. As a state senator, I’ve taken this approach for years when crafting bills and budgets. As the state’s Public Lands Commissioner, I could – and would – apply this approach on an even larger scale.
Two centuries of industrialization has filled our skies with carbon dioxide, and 30 percent of that ends up in our waters, mostly from upland water runoff that flows into the ocean. This leads to overly acidic waters, or acidification, which is deadly to all forms of marine life – including, and especially in Washington, salmon. Though acidification is largely seen as an air quality issue, which places it primarily under the scope of the state Department of Ecology (DOE), the considerable role of water runoff makes it essential that DNR work with DOE on joint solutions to this man-made problem. Ultimately, I believe the answer will require more than just coordination between these two agencies – it will take significant legislative action in an arena where I’ve guided bills into law and solved state problems for nearly two decades.
For many people, Oso is shorthand for massive landslide. This quiet little town was home to one of the deadliest landslides in history – and, sadly, the tragedy might have been avoided. The Washington Geological Survey provided by DNR identifies hazard zones all over our state. These zones are typically sites of ancient landslides where the ground has never completely settled; the materials beneath continue to move, even if only by millimeters at a time, and at some point will give way. This information could be used to avoid development on unstable land, but too few people know about it. DNR provides the data to county officials, to enable them to help the public avoid building in potential landslide areas, but the information never seems to get to those who need it. More can, and must, be done to make sure this critical information is shared with anyone who seeks a building permit for new development. I would make this an agency priority – a life-and-death priority.
All of these are serious challenges that call for energetic solutions. I don’t pretend to know all the solutions, but I do know that DNR has the experts who do. What our scientists need is someone to support them and enable them to do their best. We have the luxury of already having the top minds in the country in place in our state. Now we need to give them the full resources to do the things they understand better than anyone, and to remove administrative barriers in their way. [10] |

A Strong Economy for All Small businesses are the backbone of our economy. State government needs to do all it can to make it easier for our local businesses to thrive and be successful. I’ve consistently worked to reduce red tape and streamline the permitting process for small businesses across Washington State. Small businesses make our community strong and I am proud to stand with them. A Secure Retirement for Every Worker I will continue to support strong pensions and retirement for public servants and fight the privatization of critical retirement services. Workers, whether in the public or private sector, should have options when it comes to their retirement and I will keep working to make possible. Every worker deserves to retire with dignity, regardless of industry. Improving Our Schools We must meet our constitutional duty to fully fund public education. For too long, the legislature has debated how to solve this problem and Senate Republicans have dragged out that debate. My wife is a high school teacher here in Sequim and as the father of two children in our public schools, I know first-hand the time to act is now. We need to work together to solve our funding crisis and put an end to partisan games. I will work with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to find common ground and move the Senate toward a solution that works for our kids.[10] |

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.

Missed Votes Report
- See also: Washington House of Representatives and Washington State Senate
In March 2014, Washington Votes, a legislative information website, released its annual Missed Votes Report, which provides detailed missed roll call votes on bills for every state legislator during the 2014 legislative session.[16] The 2014 regular session included a total of 515 votes in the State House and 396 in the State Senate, as well as 1,372 bills introduced total in the legislature and 237 bills passed. Out of all roll call votes, 90 individual legislators did not miss any votes. Three individual legislators missed more than 50 votes.[16] Van De Wege missed 7 votes in a total of 1211 roll calls.
Freedom Foundation
The Freedom Foundation releases its Big Spender List annually. The Institute ranks all Washington legislators based on their total proposed tax and fee increases. To find each legislator’s total, the Institute adds up the 10-year tax increases or decreases, as estimated by Washington’s Office of Financial Management, of all bills sponsored or co-sponsored by that legislator.[17]
2012
Van De Wege proposed a 10-year increase in state taxes and fees of $17.3 million, the 81st highest amount of proposed new taxes and fees of the 93 Washington state representatives on the Freedom Foundation’s 2012 Big Spender List.
- See also: Washington Freedom Foundation Legislative Scorecard (2012)
The Freedom Foundation also issued its 2012 Informed Voter Guide for Washington State voters, including a legislative score card documenting how Washington State legislators voted upon bills the Foundation deemed important legislation. The legislation analyzed covered budget, taxation, and pension issues.[18] A 
sign indicates a bill more in line with the Foundation's stated goals, and a 
sign indicates a bill out of step with the Foundation's values. Here's how Van De Wege voted on the specific pieces of legislation:
