Under the state’s primary system, all candidates appear on the same ballot regardless of party with the top two finishers advancing to the general election.
A photo of Washington gubernatorial candidates Dave Reichert and Bob Ferguson during the Washington Governor's Debate that occurred on the evening of September 18, 2024.
Bob Ferguson, a Democrat who has been attorney general since 2013, shot back: “Dave has history in this campaign of saying one thing when he’s before an audience like this and saying something very different when he thinks he’s speaking behind closed doors. Dave, you were caught on audio denying that humans contribute to climate change.”
With no Republican having held the governor's post in nearly 40 years, Reichert faces an uphill battle in November. Ferguson received about 45% of the votes in the August primary to qualify for the general election, compared with about 27% for Reichert. Another Republican in that race, military veteran Semi Bird, got about 11% of the primary vote.
Reichert was the first county detective assigned to the case of the Green River Killer, named for the waterway where the first of 49 women's bodies were found in 1982. Gary Ridgway was arrested and convicted in 2003, during Reichert’s second term as sheriff.
