Kevin Ranker - Former Washington State Senator.  Environmental Advocate. Strategist. Coach. Advisor.  | EP 16

Sen. Kevin Ranker (D-Orcas Island) sits on the task force created by Governor Inslee to save the Southern Resident killer whales from extinction. He says the whales have faced the same challenges for decades while those in charge did nothing, but he's more hopeful these days thanks to public outcry. He says "extinction is not an option."
