I was proud to deliver the keynote speech at the Society of American Foresters National Convention in Spokane today. I talked about my work to improve federal land management policies and issues specific to the Colville National Forest. I...t is no coincidence that many of the counties with the highest unemployment rates in America are those which are surrounded by federal forests. It is time to put our people back to work, which in this case means putting our land back to work.See MoreCathy McMorris Rodgers shared a link.

This week is “National Forest Products Week." Too bad the policies advanced by this Administration have resulted in less productive forests, less logging, and made the economic recovery in our timber communities worse.- This weekend, my staff attended the first-ever Veterans Will Clinic at Gonzaga University School of Law. The Clinic was put together by the Law School and Army OneSource and provided free wills for over 90 of our veterans. Also helping was the American Red Cross, Spokane Vet Center, the Young Lawyers of the Spokane County Bar Association, and the Veterans Cemetery. Keep an eye out for the Clinic again next year!
- Today I remember an influential mentor, counselor and my former staffer, Charlotte Karling. May we carry her beautiful legacy of kindness, compassion and service in our hearts forever.

I am proud to accept the Washington Farm Bureau's annual "Friend of Farm Bureau Award." As someone who grew up on a family farm, and with agriculture being Eastern Washington's number one industry, I will continue to fight hard every day for our farmers and ranchers and for our entire community.- I'm excited to announce that the Spokane VA Medical Center was named one of the top 19 VA medical facilities in the country by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. This recognition was based on outstanding evidence-based care and positive patient outcomes. I'm so proud of the phenomenal work the Spokane VA is doing to take care of our veterans! Thank you for all that you do!
