SEATTLE — Longtime Democratic Attorney General Bob Ferguson was elected governor of Washington on Tuesday, defeating former U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert, a Republican, in a state that’s considered a Democratic stronghold.
Ferguson touted his efforts to ease restrictions on abortion medication and to strengthen gun control laws, and he criticized Reichert for voting in favor of a nationwide ban on abortion starting at 20 weeks of pregnancy. Ferguson prosecuted three Tacoma police officers in the 2020 death of Manuel Ellis, a Black man who was restrained face-down on a sidewalk while pleading that he could not breathe. A jury acquitted them of second-degree murder and manslaughter charges last year.
