Washington AG Bob Ferguson faces former sheriff Dave Reichert in governor race

Washington’s longtime Attorney General and a former King County Sheriff are going head-to-head in the race for governor.

Former King County Sheriff and U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert is facing off against Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson. Reichert is most famously known for his efforts in helping catch the "Green River Killer." Gary Ridgway was given the nickname after the remains of his first five victims were found near the Green River before his identity was known.

Both are running to replace the current Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee, who announced he will not be seeking a fourth term. However, Reichert’s win won’t be easy as Republicans haven’t held the governor’s seat in nearly 40 years.
