"The thing I find most interesting is that the forest and timber industry provides about $9 billion in economic impact to the state."

"I look forward to a productive discussion on how we can be certain the Forest Service is doing everything within reason to produce a stronger rural America."

"My focus is to ensure that Federal funding for state and private forestry is well-spent."

"You can have your cake and eat it too if we do it right in terms of managing these resources."
