Doug Ericksen Biography

Doug Ericksen is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on January 28, 1969 in Bellingham, Bellingham, United States. Douglas Ericksen (born January 28, 1969) is an American politician. A Republican, he is a member of the Washington State Senate for the 42nd District in Whatcom County. Ericksen serves as the ranking member of the body’s Energy, Environment, and Telecommunications Committee. In April 2019, he registered as a foreign agent to consult and lobby for the Kingdom of Cambodia.

In January 2017, Ericksen accepted the temporary position of interim director of communications with the US EPA but stated he does not intend to resign his senate seat. He was named Senior Advisor to the Regional Administrator for Public Engagement but declined to take the job over commuting concerns and his position as senator.

In May 2018 Ericksen joined fellow state senator Michael Baumgartner, Representative Vincent Buys, and football coach Mike Leach on a trip to Cambodia. He returned in July with Representatives Buys, Drew MacEwen, and Brandon Vick to observe the 2018 Cambodian general election, though MacEwen and Vick departed after the U.S. Ambassador expressed concerns about the election, which was widely called a “sham”. He met with Cambodia’s authoritarian prime minister Hun Sen and later called the election “very free, very fair”, saying the opposition party’s elimination is a “political question”. Ericksen’s actions were condemned by Governor Jay Inslee and the NGO Human Rights Watch, which said of the delegation, “they hold in contempt the principles of free and fair elections, an independent media, and a neutral election administration—because all those things are lacking in Hun Sen’s Cambodia.” In a meeting with Sen at the UN in September, he called for allowing a search for MIA Vietnam War soldiers.

Ericksen visited Hun Sen in Phnom Penh in March 2019, where he stated his belief the 2018 Cambodian general election was “free, just and non-violent.” Cambodia’s elections were widely criticized by human rights groups and international observers, and the White House said they were “neither free nor fair and failed to represent the will of the Cambodian people.”

In November 2016, following protests against Donald Trump and fracking, Ericksen authored a bill that would treat some common protest actions, such as blocking traffic and rail lines, as economic terrorism and allow for felony prosecution of individuals who take part in such action. At that time, Ericksen said to reporters: “I completely support your First Amendment right to protest, [but] you do not have the First Amendment right to block a train.”
