Dozier a strong voice

To the editor,

Senator Perry Dozier has been a strong voice for our natural resources, especially water. He has been not only a dryland farmer but also an irrigated farmer. As Walla Walla County Commissioner he served 8 years on both the Snake River Salmon Recovery Board and the Walla Walla Watershed Partnership Board. This past September, when water was diverted from the Yellowhawk Creek which caused fish to die, Sen. Dozier was able to act quickly. Having a relationship with Department of Ecology, he contacted them to find out why the water was diverted. It was an error with the flow gage and stream flow was returned after detecting a much higher stream flow, over 200%, Therefore water did not need to be diverted and was immediately corrected. Sen. Dozier’s experience and relationships in Olympia are invaluable. Let’s Re-Elect Senator Perry Dozier to continue working for us in Olympia.
