Farm bureau names Schoesler top legislator
Senator Mark Schoesler, R-Ritzville, was named “Legislator of the Year” by the Washington Farm Bureau and its board of directors meeting in June.
Washington Farm Bureau is the state’s largest general agriculture trade association, representing the economic and social interests of more than 38,000 member families.
Since 1995, WFB’s board of directors awards one or more state legislators with the honor of being the organization’s Legislator of the Year. A legislator’s voting record and outstanding actions to help strengthen family farms are key criteria for receiving this award.
In his role as a member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, Sen. Schoesler provided very clear and concise communication regarding the importance of agricultural trade to our state’s economy.
His leadership and commitment to the farmers and ranchers of this state was evident in his 100 percent voting record. Schoesler was also named Legislator of the Year by Washington Farm Bureau in 2004.
The 9th District lawmaker will be recognized for his efforts on behalf of Washington state farmers and ranchers at the Washington Farm Bureau’s 91st annual meeting in November.
