Priority Issues
Washington Conservation Voters' priority issues and the 2012 Environmental Priorities.
Washington Conservation Voters works to support a variety of environmental issues including the Environmental Priorities.
Working with the Environmental Priorities Coalition, we are able to
strategically advance a number of issues each year. The development of this common agenda within the environmental community allows us to prioritize a broad range of proposals, join together in support of specific and well-defined goals, and provide legislators with a clear road map to success on environmental issues. Outside of the
legislative session, we work to build support for these issues by
hosting forums, meeting with legislators, polling voters and educating
the public.

I recognize the need to keep a clean marine environment to protect the long-term viability of a water-dependent industry. Besides, a clean environment is important for everybody!” - Charlie Stephens
