SENATOR ERICKSEN NAMED 2018 FARM BUREAU LEGISLATOR OF THE YEAR
"Senator Ericksen was named Farm Bureau Legislator of the year. That is a big deal. Doug has been working hard for the agriculture community here in Whatcom County and around the state. Now it is time for us to stand up and support Doug with our votes."

Debbie Vanderveen--Whatcom County Dairy and Crop Farmer

WORKING WITH FARMERS
Senator Ericksen was born and raised in Whatcom County. He understands the importance of agriculture to our economy. He knows that farming is a business and a way of life. If the business end does not add up, we lose the way of life. That is why Senator Ericksen works with farmers on taxes, rules, regulations, and trade policies that impact the bottom line. Farming is a tough business that is under attack from many who live in big cities and do not understand the milk comes from a cow, not a carton.
