Occupation: Rancher & Scientist
50-word statement:
A lifelong Okanogan rancher, Peter raised his family in the same house where he grew up, teaching the values of hard work and caring for the land. Goldmark has served as a wildland fire fighter, State Director of Agriculture, a Washington State University regent, and rural school board director.
Three priorities:
1. Dramatically increasing renewable power production on public lands through wind turbines, biomass conversion and solar panels. This will have the double effect of reducing our dependence on foreign oil while making more money for schools.
2. Protecting public access for fishing, camping, hunting and other recreation throughout the state. As a father of five, I know firsthand the valuable lessons children can learn from the outdoors.
3. Better management our forests and fuels. Wild fires are becoming an ever increasing threat to all of Eastern Washington. As a volunteer wildland firefighter I know the coordination of our efforts must be improved.
