Columbia Gorge News, Sept. 14, 2022
Wow, look at what’s happening to our climate: Record breaking heat waves, increased severe wildfires and crop fires! There were four fires within 10 miles of The Dalles last year and there are more extreme water events. An atmospheric river in February of 2020 flooded downtown Pendleton and closed I-84.
These are some of the reasons I support Raz Mason for Senate District 26 (“the Mt. Hood District”). Her work leading a climate change education foundation heightened her awareness of the physical mechanisms driving extreme weather and seasonal changes. Her love for people, and the natural world in all its diversity, drives her to work hard to address climate change with thoughtfulness and strategic care.
A sensible and wise transition away from fossil fuels will require tremendous leaps of imagination, aspiration, and courage, and that describes Raz to a “T.” Please join me in voting for Raz Mason for Oregon Senate.
