State Representative #1, District 26
The Sierra Club enthusiastically endorses Nathan Schlicher for the State House. Nathan, who was appointed in the 2013 State Legislative Session to fill the seat vacated by Congressman Derek Kilmer, is a very bright rising star in local and state politics. He is a practicing ER physician, attorney, and expert on health care policy. He is well-informed on issues of the environment and while in the State Senate, voted consistent with views of the environmental community and the Sierra Club. Examples of his environmental commitment were his votes to defend I-937, to reduce climate changing pollution, to protect our limited water resources, to protect the gray wolf, to fund public transportation adequately, to create jobs for a clean economy, and to promote environmental justice.
Nathan narrowly lost a hard fought special election for the 26th District Senate seat last Nov. to Sen. Jan Angel. Now running for the House, he is committed to ensuring access to affordable health care, creating opportunities through education and rebuilding the middle class. Nathan’s 2013 campaign efforts to engage the electorate in the 26th District and his outstanding qualifications will give him the edge to win this race.
Vote for Schlicher!
