The Seattle Times editorial board recommends: Hilary Franz for the 6th Congressional District

"Franz’s bipartisan leadership and élan as public lands commissioner is too important to keep from the nation’s capital. Members of Congress should approach issues the way Franz approached wildfire: tackle problems before they grow out of control. That strategy is both fiscally responsible and the right thing to do. Given her track record, voters should send Franz to Congress."

U.S. Representative

Derek Kilmer

“Hilary is a bold, strategic leader with a track record of bringing people together from across the state and from different backgrounds to find solutions to our shared problems. Our nation needs Hilary’s experience in Congress, and Washington needs her leadership.”

Former U.S. Representative

Norm Dicks

“Under her leadership, her agency has helped lead the fight against climate change while bringing jobs and economic development to communities and small towns across this state. After representing the 6th Congressional District for 36 years, I am supporting Hilary Franz because she is a fighter who will get things done for the people in our community.”

Tacoma Mayor

Victoria Woodards

“Hilary’s track record speaks volumes. She looked at the housing crisis in our state and made the Department of Natural Resources a partner in affordable housing for the first time ever. I believe her leadership and vision are exactly what we need in Congress to tackle the housing crisis, and so much more.”
