Washington AG wins gubernatorial bid to replace retiring Inslee

Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson (D) is the winner of the state's gubernatorial contest, The Hill/Decision Desk HQ projects.

Ferguson was up against former Rep. Dave Reichert (R) in the race to replace retiring Gov. Jay Inslee (D), who announced last year that he would not run for a 4th term.

The attorney general has been in office for more than a decade. He also reportedly raised more than $8 million for his gubernatorial bid, a significant haul over many of the other candidates in the crowded field.
