It's the first open gubernatorial election since 2012, early polling indicates Reichert could pose a significant challenge to Ferguson.

“If Reichert had launched his campaign early, positioning himself as a different kind of Republican willing to work across the aisle, he might have gained substantial traction,” Sandeep Kaushik, a partner at Sound View, said. Bob Ferguson, the current attorney general, has been meticulously preparing for his gubernatorial run for years. Speculation about Governor Jay Inslee not seeking a third term spurred Ferguson to build a robust campaign, raising significant funds and establishing strong name recognition.
“This is already a pretty strongly blue state,” Kaushik noted. “On the margins, there may be some benefit, but it’s too early to tell if it will be significant.”
