Bud Pierce on Environment

Enhance infrastructure & natural resource based jobs

PIERCE: Listening to industry in the private sector and advocating for public policies that grow the economy and add jobs, by enhancing growth in manufacturing and in natural resource based jobs (with an emphasis on timber), and by increasing infrastructure jobs by building roads, bridges, ports, and rail service.

Maintain forestlands through proper forest management

Forestry in Oregon provides approximately 57,000 jobs with an annual payroll of $2.1 billion. These are jobs that keep Oregon moving and keep our forests healthy.

Bud Pierce wants to keep Oregon at the forefront of innovation when it comes to using and, taking care of, our state's timber resources. Therefore, we need to maintain Oregon's vast forestlands through proper forest management techniques that will help prevent the severe wildfires Oregonians are experiencing during this incredibly dry summer.
