Posted on July 20, 2006 - 2:39pm
Senator Phil Rockefeller (D-23, Bainbridge Island) earns our award for 2006 Senator of the Year. Senator Rockefeller serves as Vice Chair of the Senate Water, Energy, and Environment Committee where his thoughtful leadership improves every piece of legislation that moves through the committee.
He earns the award primarily for his work to clean up and restore Puget Sound and for his efforts to help pass the Renewable Fuels legislation. Senator Rockefeller also works closely with the environmental community on lobbying strategy. His constituents should be proud of the way he blends his strong environmental values with a keen sense for pragmatic environmental policies that will work in the real world.
