C.B. Pearson, a leading environmentalist and advocate for science-driven decision making, is set to run for Montana Senate District 46 in the upcoming Democratic primary. Dave Harmon, a former city councilperson for Missoula Ward One – Rattlesnake area and a strong advocate for addressing human-caused climate change in Montana, is urging voters to support Pearson.
Pearson has a proven track record of fighting for public lands and has led successful campaigns in Missoula County for Open Space and Parks and Trails. He is endorsed by the 3.14 Action Fund, a group committed to electing Democratic candidates with a background in science. This endorsement reflects Pearson’s dedication to using scientific evidence to inform policy decisions, rather than relying on special interests like big tobacco and big oil.
Harmon knows firsthand the importance of supporting candidates who prioritize evidence-based policy-making. As someone who has worked closely with Pearson, he is confident that Pearson will do what’s best for the environment, clean water, public lands, and natural areas. Pearson’s academic background in Environmental Studies gives him unique insights into the direct impact of climate change on our way of life in Montana.
Harmon believes that voting for science and addressing climate change means supporting candidates like Pearson who prioritize evidence-based policy-making. By doing so, voters can help safeguard Montana’s natural environment for future generations while ensuring that our state continues to be a leader in scientific innovation and research.
