Burner to help clean up Green River
By Bryan Bissell
Congressional candidate Darcy BurnerDarcy Burner, Democratic candidate for Congress in the 8th District, will be taking her campaign back to the earth this weekend. As part of an event to encourage community service, Burner will join the 47th LD Democrats and the national grassroots service organization Democrats Work to clean up garbage along the Green River at Flaming Geyser State Park. This cleanup also comes during “National Volunteer Week.”
The Green River, of course, is the same that helped her opponent Rep. Dave Reichert (R-Auburn) gain national attention before he became elected by overseeing the catching of a serial killer whose nickname was shared with the rural Washington river.

Politics overtaking Recreational Event
Just to clarify, the Green River Cleanup has been run by the Washington Recreational River Runners (WRRR) for the past 23 years. This event is not political in nature and is about Recreational enthusiasts enjoying and maintaining our playground.
Please don't take allow the Democrats Work to take credit for an event they are not associated with.
