No further action was requested. Sutherland's 2008 re-election campaign has been funded by contributions from a variety of sources. As of November 3, 2008 his campaign had received $571,716.62 from cash contributions and $602,131.08 from independent funding. The majority of the independent funding ($573,000) was provided from the Committee for Balanced Stewardship. The Committee for Balanced Stewardship is predominately funded by logging and mining companies. Major contributors include $100,000 from Weyerhaeuser; $75,000 from Rayonier; $50,000 from Glacier Northwest (the company currently strip mining and shipping from the Maury Island Aquatic Reserve); and $25,000 from Sierra Pacific. Some of the cash and in-kind contributions directly to Doug Sutherland's campaign are also associated with Taylor Shellfish (a company under investigation for illegally harvesting geoduck on DNR managed public state tidelands).
