WCV works to elect candidates to public offi ce and, once elected, WCV holds them accountable to their voting records on environmental issues. Th is Scorecard is your tool to help hold your elected offi cials accountable. WCV, in conjunction with its legislative partner, the Washington Environmental Council, lobbied the State Legislature throughout the 2003-2004 legislative biennium on the environmental community’s legislative agenda. Our lobbyist, Cliff ord Traisman, contributed to victories on our priorities, including passage of the Mercury Reduction Act, restoration of funding for the Department of Ecology’s program to phase out toxic chemicals in the environment, protection of our old growth state forests, and protection of our shorelines. We also successfully defended the budgets of our state’s natural resource agencies from reductions. Th e 2003-2004 biennium demonstrated that the environmental community is able to achieve quantifi able environmental policy goals in the State Legislature; WCV is a proud contributor to this achievement. Th rough the process of identifying a select group of community priorities, our coordinated lobbying eff orts, and new communication tools like the Environmental Community Hot List, the environmental community is more organized and eff ective than ever. Th e bills that are scored in the WCV Scorecard are those that best refl ect a clear choice about whether or not to protect the environment, represent a cross-section of the major environmental issues addressed during the biennium, and were viewed during the biennium as priorities by a range of conservation organizations. Th ank you to the many legislators who have shown leadership on protecting and conserving our land, air, and water. We also thank those legislators who have consistently voted in support of the environmental values that we all share. Most of all, thank you for being involved. Marc Daudon Chair, Board of Directors Washington Conservation Voters Washington Conservation Voters 2003-2004 Board of Directors Marc Daudon Jim DiPeso Lisa Pelly Chair, Board of Directors Operations Committee Chair Outreach Committee Co-Chair Len Barson Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner Maryanne Tagney-Jones Political Committee Chair Outreach Committee Co-Chair Chair Emeritus Marilyn Heiman Joseph Ryan Tony Peacock Secretary Rollin Fatland Eileen Quigley Bill LaBorde Kathe Fowler Jim Timmons Lisa McShane 1 HouseChampions Rep. Hans Dunshee D-44 2004 Legislator of the Year As Chair of the House Capital Budget Committee, Rep. Dunshee uses his infl uential post to fund programs that protect and enhance recreation opportunities and wildlife habitat. He is a staunch advocate for the environment, both publicly and behind the scenes in the House Democratic Caucus. In 2004, Rep. Dunshee championed the passage of a Capital Budget provision that requires the Department of Natural Resources to complete an inventory and assessment of old growth state forests, an important step in the protection of the last remaining old growth on state lands. Because of his outstanding contributions, Hans was named the 2004 WCV Legislator of the Year. Rep. Fred Jarrett R-41 2003 Co-Legislator of the Year As a key member on the House Local Government Committee, Rep. Jarrett enjoyed a 100% record on defense of growth management during the 2003 session, making him a 2003 WCV Co-Legislator of the Year. In addition, he has been a visible leader for sustainable forestry, balanced transportation policy, and other important issues. Fred’s bipartisanship has been a critical element of the environmental community’s growing success in Olympia. Rep. Sandra Romero D-22 2003 Co-Legislator of the Year As Chair of the House Local Government Committee, the legislature’s most critical committee on growth management policy, Rep. Romero defi nes what it means to be a champion. She is the ultimate defender of the Growth Management Act (GMA), having amended or killed no less than a dozen separate attacks on the GMA in each of the 2003 and 2004 sessions. She also sponsored and worked to pass into law the environmental community’s bill to update shoreline protections. For her eff orts, Sandra was named a 2003 WCV Co-Legislator of the Year. Rep. Frank Chopp D-43 Speaker of the House As leader of the House Democratic Caucus, Speaker Chopp is responsible for ensuring that protecting and improving Washington State’s environment is a top priority in the House of Representatives. His behind-the-scenes leadership is responsible for ensuring passage of several priority bills including the Mercury Reduction Act, shorelines update bills, and the Neah Bay rescue tug legislation. Without the leadership of Speaker Chopp, it would have been virtually impossible to reach these and other positive achievements over the past two years. Rep. Mike Cooper D-21 As Chair of the House Fisheries, Ecology & Parks Committee, Rep. Cooper played a central role in the advancement of the environmental community’s legislative agenda. His committee passed important environmental legislation to prevent oil spills, to support computer recycling and the cleanup of e-waste, and to restore funding for the Department of Ecology’s program to phase out persistent toxic chemicals (PBTs). In addition, he used his leadership position to advance the Forest Stewardship Council Certifi cation Bill, one of the environmental community’s top priorities. 2 Rep. Sam Hunt D-22 During the 2003 session, Rep. Hunt sponsored and helped pass into law the Mercury Reduction Act, the environmental community’s most signifi cant achievement of the year. In the 2004 session, Sam sponsored another of the environmental community’s priorities: a bill to ensure adequate stream fl ows to protect fi sh and habitat. Th e provisions of Hunt’s bill, under a diff erent title, passed the House Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee, which was an important win for the community. As a member of the House leadership, Sam’s contributions in caucus are equally as important to the community’s agenda in Olympia. Rep. Ed Murray D-43 Rep. Murray chairs the House Transportation Committee, the most important post in the legislature for ensuring that the state maintains its commitment to balanced transportation policy. As Chair, Rep. Murray has successfully championed funding for commute trip reduction programs, passenger ferries, and transit. He also helped pass funding for a clean air program and a data collection program that will help preserve state aquatic lands. Ed also deserves praise for killing many bad Senate bills intended to weaken or eliminate state transit programs. Rep. Geoff Simpson D-43 Rep. Simpson serves as the Vice Chair of both the House Transportation and Capital Budget Committees, two of the most important environmental committees in the legislature. He has utilized these infl uential posts to champion the environment. Geoff ’s accomplishments include leading the fi ght to ensure statewide investments in public transportation projects, securing capital budget funding for stream fl ow protection, and protecting old growth state forests. Senate Champions Sen. Karen Fraser D-22 Sen. Fraser sits on the Senate Natural Resources Committee and is the consummate advocate for ensuring a balanced water policy for people and fi sh. She successfully helped lead the eff ort to pass the Mercury Reduction Act and to restore funding for the Department of Ecology’s program to phase out persistent toxic chemicals (PBTs). Karen is a leader in all facets of the legislative process, especially on the Senate Floor where she is always eager to off er amendments to protect Washington State’s environment. Sen. Adam Kline D-41 In the Senate Land Use and Planning Committee, Sen. Kline is the lone voice for protecting the Growth Management Act (GMA) and has successfully slowed down or killed dozens of bad bills. Adam is a champion for increased state funding for transportation alternatives like buses, rail, and commuter programs. He also plays a leadership role in helping develop the environmental agenda for the Senate Democratic Caucus. Sen. Debbie Regala D-27 In 2004, Sen. Regala sponsored one of the environmental community’s top priorities: requiring Forest Stewardship Council certifi cation of state forests. Sen. Regala secured 16 sponsors for her bill and successfully pushed for Senate committee consideration of the matter even though the committee chair had previously refused to hear the bill. As a member of the Senate Natural Resources Committee, she also champions environmental positions on water, toxics reduction, and budget matters. Debbie also plays a leadership role on environmental issues in the Senate Democratic Caucus. 3 House and Senate Out of Step This list identifi es the legislators who are most out of step with the environmental values of the majority of their constituents. House Out of Step Rep. Jack Cairnes (R-47) – Score 22% Rep. Cairnes dropped from 55% in the 2001-2002 scorecard to a current 22%, while his seatmate, who serves the same constituency, has a lifetime average of 100%. Rep. Cairnes is truly out of step with the environmental values of the majority of his constituents. He voted against reasonable protections for our air, land, and water – including bills to prevent global warming, to protect our shorelines, and to promote sustainable forestry. Rep. Doug Ericksen (R-42) – Score 11% Rep. Ericksen is in a race to the bottom, dropping from a lifetime high of 55% in 1999-2000 to 22% in 2001- 2002 to a new current low of 11%.
