District 17

Senator William Monning

Background Info

We got a negative reaction from him years ago, but one of his staffers wrote us an anonymous message that was rather helpful. Something about how this was the job of the Fish and Game Commission and try to get a legislator to put pressure on them.

I thought we had someone in this district, she is pro-ferret! But he entered the wrong district number.  Someone in this district, we need you!

District 38

Senator Brian Jones

Background Info

If we had more people like Brian Jones in the legislature this wouldn’t be a problem. I have worked his poor office plenty; asking to introduce a ferret legalization bill and then explain if domestic animals are really legal per our state constitution.

District 39

Background Info

My personal feeling is that Senator Atkins is partially sympathetic to us but ferrets are not something she wishes to stick her neck out on.

District 40

Senator Ben Hueso

Background Info

Senator Hueso was interested in our cause one time. When he was angry with the Chair of the Fish and Game Commission for posing with a dead mountain lion in Idaho. But after that blew over he told us to work directly with the Fish and Game Commission, and not the legislature.
