2024 WA Governor's race: on Free Trade


Hilary Franz: Trade war with China has had significant impact on state

China is the number one market for Washington's geoducks, responsible for roughly 90% of the state's export of the distinct, large clams, totaling upwards of 11 million pounds. According to Franz, the ongoing U.S. trade war with China has geoduck prices down to around $7 a pound, a $4 decrease. "Our goal is to continue to raise our voice and have the public raise their voice too, so we can end this trade war that has had significant impact for Washington state," said Franz.
