We are excited to announce that county council candidate Rick Hughes has earned the endorsement of Washington Conservation Action for the 2024 general election for San Juan County Council, District 2!

“Rick, we are confident that your commitment to environmental justice and our shared concerns will guide you in service to the people of your community.”—Washington Conservation Action

By centering those most impacted by climate injustice, they advance a future that equitably sustains us. They advocate for environmental action that protects and heals the environment. They care deeply for the land, air, water, and communities that sustain us and act on that commitment through education, advocacy, and political action, representation, and reform.
