Lorna Smith is a longtime conservationist who is running for Jefferson County Commission, Position 2. Smith's family first moved to Jefferson County in 1903 as lighthouse keepers, which has given her a deep appreciation for the local land she calls home. She is currently the Executive Director for Western Wildlife Outreach. Previously, she worked as an environmental and land use manager and helped establish a national wildlife refuge on Protection Island. If elected, one of Smith's top priorities would be to support local businesses and nonprofits building a sustainable recovery from COVID-19. In addition, she wants to continue her work preserving farmlands, forests, and shorelines for future generations, prioritize affordable housing, and implement a broadband and green jobs platform.
Smith is running against Democrat Heidi Eisenhour. Eisenhour is currently the chief operations officer at the Northwest Maritime Center and Wooden Boat Foundation in Port Townsend. She has also previously worked in environmental-centered roles, including as executive director of the Jefferson Land Trust. Eisenhour's campaign is focused on providing essential services for families struggling during the pandemic. She wants to improve access to food, the internet, and education during this challenging time.
We lean towards Smith in this race because of her long track record of fighting for progressive causes and her support from our Progressive Voters Guide partner organizations.

Young people deserve accurate information to help them make good decisions, to protect themselves, and to protect their futures. But today, too many students don’t receive high-quality, inclusive, medically accurate education about sex and healthy relationships, putting them at risk of sexual assault, unintended pregnancies, and sexually transmitted infections. In particular, students of color are more likely to receive incomplete or incorrect sex education.
