Dave Reichert, a Republican, took the top slot in the gubernatorial primary in Washington state on Tuesday night, beating out numerous other contenders. He now faces Bob Ferguson, the state's Democratic attorney general, who placed second in Tuesday's primary. The two will now face off in the Nov. 5 general election contest for governor. In Washington's 'top two' primary system, all candidates for congressional and state offices are listed on the same ballot.
Bird was also endorsed by the state's Republican Party. Bird faced legal issues related to a 1993 conviction for bank larceny. He was found guilty of using his father’s name and Social Security number to apply for credit, which led to a guilty plea for the offense. Bird has acknowledged this past conviction and has stated that he regrets his actions, emphasizing that he has not been convicted of any crimes since then.
