The predicted impacts of climate change are no secret to Washingtonians, with issues like wildfires and the state’s critically endangered orcas capturing headlines on a regular basis. Hilary Franz, Washington’s Commissioner of Public Lands, is at the epicenter of those conversations — which is one of many reasons we’re so excited to announce Commissioner Franz will be joining as at the 2018 Re-Wire Policy Conference on December 13.

The Morning Wire: Keeping you informed on politics, policies, and personalities of Washington State.

The lunchtime keynote conversation with Commissioner Franz will cover hot-button environmental topics that will be front-and-center in the 2019 Legislative Session. It’ll serve as a thoughtful bridge in the middle of a full day of exploring Washington policy and politics through a policy-agnostic, non-partisan lens.
