Chelan County resident JC Baldwin has been unanimously confirmed by the Washington State Senate to serve on the Washington State Transportation Commission.

According to the Commission’s website, “The Washington State Transportation Commission is a seven-member body of citizens appointed by the Governor for up to two six-year terms. The Commission provides an open public forum for transportation policy development. It reviews and assesses how the entire transportation system works across the state and issues the state’s 20-year Washington Transportation Plan.”

Baldwin has served on the Chelan-Douglas Transportation Council and the State Public Works Board. She currently serves as a Chelan-Douglas Regional Port Authority Commissioner. Senator Hawkins strongly supporter her Senate confirmation and helped guide it through the process, in committee and on the floor, for an expedited confirmation.

Hawkins said, “I’m grateful the Senate was able to move Commissioner Baldwin through the process so promptly. She has a lot to offer with experience on the Chelan-Douglas Transportation Council, State Public Works Board, and Regional Port. She will do a great job on the Transportation Commission. I’m glad the Senate completed its confirmation process this session, so that she’s not hanging out there for several years like many other gubernatorial appointees awaiting confirmation.”
