Washington governor's race loses two Bob Fergusons after Attorney General Bob Ferguson issues legal threats

Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson briefly had two unexpected challengers in the state's gubernatorial primary: Bob Ferguson and Bob Ferguson.

But by Monday evening, both of the lesser-known Bob Fergusons had withdrawn from the race, fearing prosecution.

The saga began on Friday when both rival Bobs entered the governor's race as Democrats, just before the filing deadline. They joined an already crowded field — 30 people filed to run for governor last week in Washington, according to the Secretary of State's website.
