I read all that. That tells me little other than a great resume was written. I have one of those. I'm looking for a little more private information, which I should be entitled to as a registered voter, and her being a public servant. Like where she grew up? Did she grow up in Washington State or DC? Has she ever recreated in WA? Does her experience come from studies or reality? I know the difference. Has she ever sportsfished? That kind of info is important on where her agenda lies and advice to the Gov. comes from. At least we know a little about Jon Snyder, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Snyder , which was provided by Bay wolf. Like everyone, I am just looking for a little more information that could shed some light on what could be for recreational anglers, really important future political information.
