Sen. Brad Hawkins Honored by Ag Educators

12th District Sen. Brad Hawkins was honored this week by the Washington Association of Agricultural Educators with the 2019 Legislator of the Year award.

Jennifer Crane, an agriculture science teacher at Eastmont Junior High School in East Wenatchee, presented Hawkins with the award in her classroom Tuesday.

“I’m very honored to receive this award and really appreciate the Washington Association of Agricultural Educators for selecting me,” said Hawkins, the ranking Republican on the Senate Early Learning and K-12 Education Committee. “I’ve always prided myself on supporting both education and agriculture, so it was very special to receive it.”

Hawkins was previously awarded the Legislative Champion Award by the Washington Tree Fruit Association in 2017.
