A quick look at what Rep. Kilmer has been doing. He has spoken to the need to safeguard existing jobs on the Olympic Peninsula, speaking about the impacts of changing ocean conditions (warming water conditions and ongoing declines in the pH of local waters) on our local shellfish industry (3000+ jobs) and the need to protect a regional collaborative program dedicated to the development of a forest industry jobs and increased timber harvests. Both programs face large budget cuts from the Trump administration/GOP. This addresses some commenters desire to hear about Kilmer's responses to our county's high unemployment rate and also speaks to his knowledge of our area's need for a diverse economy based partly on natural resources. Kilmer has pushed the current administration on its cutting of funding for opioid abuse programs. Rep. Kilmer has continued to be supported by a wide range of veteran's groups  So Rep. Kilmer has been working on local issues and for local .citizens.
