OLYMPIA, Wash. – Two weeks after the race for the Commissioner of Public Lands remains too close to call, with an automatic recount now underway. Former U.S. Congresswoman, Jaime Herrera Beutler has secured her spot in the general election this November, but the number two slot is still up for grabs. King County Councilman, Dave Upthegrove, a democrat, and scientist Sue Kuehl Pederson, a republican, are separated by just five-one-hundredths of a percent.
