Ragen, Lehmkuhl, and Myers were all unanimous bipartisan votes. Rowland only had Senator Short (R) voting against.

Confirmation meeting for Baker, Smith and Parker starts Monday. They’ll probably get in also but I’m still writing the Agriculture, Water, Natural Resources & Parks Committee to opine.

Hunters must be very happy with the Commissioners the Governor has appointed is my only conclusion.

Please DO NOT CONFIRM Lorna Smith as a WDFW commissioner. We need commissioners that follow science and she follows feelings and agenda that are anti hunting. Thank you

We have multi page threads over DUI and gun bills in the legislature and how people need to contact their reps. But not a single one over the confirmation votes of the commissioners.

I'm in disbelief that only 1 person voted against these clowns. Not happy at all.

I didn’t hear anything about this.  It’s odd since, people are always bringing up that they have not been confirmed.  Rowland should have never been confirmed!

Same, I've been pretty busy lately but I've been doing my best to pay attention to this and stay involved. I didn't know anything about it... bummer

The entire senate is your audience now!

Why do you say that?  Based on what you hear here that's not the case. It's obvious there is a strong push by disappointed hunters against the lack of diversity and direction the commission is headad.

Blackdog is trying to say by the lack of awareness/conversation on the forum of these confirmation votes that hunters must be happy with commissioners. I too would've expected threads saying "contact your reps" but that never happened.

And yet clearly the hunters here are not communicating with their Senators and asking for a “do not confirm “ vote. Do we here at Hunting Washington expect that Senators will read these threads?

If your really involved and concerned with the whole process you should take it upon yourself to send out emails and voice your displeasure. I know I have sent emails to all the cabinet members. I know some need help or an extra nudge but it's not that difficult especially based on the info from the Northwest Sportsman's link.

Science back ground
Check double check yup.
Heartbeat
Check double check yup
Breathing
Check double check yup.

You are now Commissioner.
Still breathing yup.
Ok yup Commissioner.
 

That's how I think it went.
