There's some information in this article on the candidates for Commissioner of Public Lands:

I myself am not happy with this state in general on a lot of issues so it makes me feel better to not vote for the incumbent in any statewide election. Makes it really easy.

Especially when that incumbent is joined at the hip with insleez and was behind the Hirst decision.  She is very much part of the problem for rural folks and is behind the agenda to force us all into the cities where we can be more easily controlled.

She and Venezuela Jay (got that name from someone on here) both lived on Bainbridge island, pretty close to each other actually. They’re two peas in a pod.

I've had personal interactions with Hillary Franz,  and the previous land commissioner, Goldmark.  She is much more personable that he was, for sure.  But she is also just using DNR as a stepping stone, so I'm game for an upgrade to someone who is a specialist in Natural Resources (not a wanna-be senator/gov) and the self promotion does get old.

She is definitely the better choice for conservatives and outdoorsmen.

I think Franz and Pederson are both not terrible choices, which is refreshing to think when it comes to an elected position in Washington State.

If any politician still has a "D" behind their name these days I'd say they are a poor choice for a candidate. The democrat party has totally gone off the rails and if these people are still in that mess of a party, they should be voted out of office. :twocents:

I can't stand Hillary Franz and I can't wait to vote for her replacement.  It gets tiresome reading anything quote from her always talking about climate change.
May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.

I've interacted with Franz through my work, and she certainly didn't leave the impression that she was arrogant, etc.  She has an ability to bring people together from across our dysfunctional political spectrum.  The 20 Year Forest Health Strategic Plan has needed to happen for decades.  Forest restoration (which benefits big game, especially on the east side with its overstocked stands of Douglas-fir and grand fir) doesn't happen overnight, but Franz's DNR is tackling the challenge with the best available science.  And timber is going to mills in support of the school and public trust obligations of the DNR, which I certainly appreciate. 

As for the forest herbicide issues, DNR is obligated to regenerate harvested timber stands according to WAC 222-34, which means achieving a minimum stocking of seedlings/saplings per acre (standards differ between east side and west side, but boiling down to 100 saplings/acre).  Unless we release them in a statutory sense from this obligation (which would actually make a lot of sense in some cases), they, like other landowners, will continue to use herbicides to suppress competing vegetation.  Not Franz' responsibility, IMO.   

I do agree with some on this thread, it is good to have two good options in any election these days, not the increasingly common "lesser of two evils".

This position shouldn't be partisan.  I'm still thankful of how much public land we have in the state.  Haven't made my mind up yet.

She is the one that still has OUR state land closed for camping.  She's in bed with Jay Sleezly if you ask me.  I hope she goes down the road!

I agree, this position should be non partisan. There’s a fare amount of loggers that I know that support  Hillary, they think she’s doing fine
