Washington state Governor Jay Inslee and Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson are pictured before speaking to media. Attorney General Bob Ferguson announced at 6:55 a.m. Tuesday morning that he was launching an exploratory campaign for the 2024 Washington state Gubernatorial election, less than 24 hours after current Gov. Jay Inslee announced he would not run again.
Inslee has been the governor of Washington since 2013 and is the second elected official to serve three consecutive terms as the executive of the state’s government.An exploratory campaign is not the same as officially running for governor, but it is the first step. Potential candidates usually make such an announcement to signal to donors and others they’re seriously testing the waters for a run without officially declaring their candidacy.“I’ve never been afraid to take on big fights. From the Trump Admin & gun lobby to anti-abortion extremists & corporate interests, I’ve taken on powerful adversaries and won,” Ferguson said in the announcement. “That’s just the start. I’m proud to announce my exploratory campaign for WA Gov.
Ferguson is Washington’s 18th Attorney General, graduating from New York University law school. Some of his more notable work came from filing multiple legal actions against the U.S. Department of Energy regarding the Hanford Nuclear Reservation. Both of his lawsuits led to successful outcomes. Since I first ran for office, I’ve run grassroots, people-powered campaigns. I refuse to take money from large corporations. This campaign will be no different — join us today.
