The 2024 Washington Public Lands Commissioner election was held on November 5, 2024. Democrat Dave Upthegrove, a King County councilman, defeated Republican Jaime Herrera Beutler, a former U.S. Representative from Washington's 3rd congressional district.^[1] The top-two primary was held on August 6.^[2] Incumbent Public Lands Commissioner Hilary Franz, elected in 2016 and re-elected in 2020, did not seek a third term in office, opting to run for governor.^[3]^[4] The primary saw a close race with the Democratic vote split across five candidates, causing a recount in order to determine the winners and narrowly avoiding a lockout for the Democratic Party.^[5]

Background

Current Public Lands Commissioner Hilary Franz, elected in 2016 and re-elected in 2020, is not seeking a third term. She initially chose to run for governor, later dropping out of that race to instead run for the U.S. House.^[6] During the primary election, the race drew many candidates, including five Democrats and two Republicans. It was suggested that the numerous Democratic candidates might split the vote enough so that the two Republican candidates might advance to the general election, locking out Democrats from the office.^[7]

The results of the primary election had Republican Jaime Herrera Beutler lead while the second place position remained tight between Democrat Dave Upthegrove and Republican Sue Kuehl Pederson, with a margin of only 51 votes between the two. This triggered an automatic hand recount per Washington state laws.^[8]^[9] After a recount and certification of the results showed Upthegrove with a lead of 49 votes, he advanced to the general election thus ensuring that Democrats would not be locked out of the general election.^[10]

During their campaigns, both Upthegrove and Beutler focused on the protection and management of forests and public lands albeit with differing views of how such aims would be achieved. Upthegrove emphasized preservation of public lands, especially legacy forests (mature natural forests), and maintaining a balance between conservation and economical value of the forests. Beutler focused on the generation of revenue via logging and other activities to keep lands economically and environmentally sustainable, claiming that excessive preservation of legacy forests can lead to susceptibility to disease, raise wildfire risks, and reduce the stream of revenue on which schools and other public services rely. On tribal issues, Upthegrove supports strengthening the role of co-management with tribes while Buetler supports continuing Franz's creation of a tribal liaison.^[11]^[12]
