Merav Ben David

A Wyoming Democrat Campaigning For Senate on A Platform That Includes Keeping Public Lands In Public Hands

Merav Ben-David isn't a typical Wyoming name. She was born in Israel, grew up on a farm, served in the Israeli Air Force, and earned a PhD in Wildlife Management in Alaska. Today's she's probably best known for two things. It was her research on the effects of the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill in Prince William Sound that was used to force Exxon pay up in the 90s and then used to force British Petroleum to pay up in a decade later.
