Commissioner of Public Lands 2024

[jackelope]

I think that Sue Kuehl Pederson is a better choice Beutler.

Care to expand on why?

I liked her bio myself

Did my research,  First, Never a D,  then "pulled a Newhouse" checked one of the two off, Yep, it will be Sue for me.

This is very much like the gov race.
It's not necessarily who you like, it's who can win a mostly blue State.
I like Sue but she lost by like 13 percent last time. Not sure she can make that up this cycle.
If we aren't careful it will be two Dems on the Nov ballot.

Besides the Trump thing, anything else going against JHB?

My thoughts exactly. Too many Rs in the primary = 2 Ds in the general.

I feel like maybe it’s 2 different topics/threads. I’m consulting with the other mods.

She voted to give amnesty to illegal alien farm workers.
She wouldn’t endorse Joe Kent after he beat her in the primary election.
Not only did she vote to impeach Trump without any hearings and after he was already out of office, she wrote in Paul Ryan for president in the 2016 election because Trump was just to extreme for her. She would allow Hillary to be president before she would vote for Trump.
To name a few. You asked…

Those are definite negatives for me, I was glad to see her beat out by Kent.

Other than what's been posted, Science over Politics.

Without saying to much, do you know if Pederson's views would harm hunting, trapping, or firearms issues?

All reasons why she stands a better chance of getting elected and picking up blue votes compared to pederson.

Her beef with trump has nothing to do with WA DNR. I get party dynamics, but unless she makes it through the primary, we're guaranteed an urban blue west side CPL I think

She's also been endorsed by HHC and her national record on wildfire and forest management is strong. I don't have to like her personally to vote in my best interest strqtegically

Anything negative about her specifically where WA public lands are concerned? She’s endorsed by the HHC, seems very pro timber industry. She’s got a plan for sea lions to protect salmon. We’re always bitching about forest management to prevent wildfire. She’s all over that.

Im not sure not endorsing a candidate you don’t agree with is a big problem for me. If I don’t agree with their policies and plans, I’m not sure I’d endorse them either. I mean it’s kind of BS at that point to fake your approval for someone just because you’re expected to stay in party lines.

I appreciate and understand the negatives around Trump, but that’s not a big deal for me. I’m not a huge fan of Trump.

And yet Kent has endorsed her for Commissioner of Public Lands.
