Reichert Campaign Statement on Gubernatorial Debate

September 11, 2024

BELLEVUE, WA – Following the first gubernatorial debate between Dave Reichert and Bob Ferguson this evening, Reichert Campaign Senior Political Advisor Jeff Harvey released the following statement:

 

“Forty years of one-party rule has left Washingtonians struggling to keep a roof over their heads and feeling unsafe in their own neighborhoods. Our ferries are beached, our roads gridlocked, and our children are not getting the education they deserve. Dave Reichert effectively made the case in this debate that it is time to try something new. Career-politicians like Bob Ferguson won’t accept responsibility when their policies fail the people they serve. Dave will bring much-needed accountability to our state government and work with elected leaders from across the political spectrum to shake up the status quo and get things done. Bob Ferguson won’t change a thing. Dave will. That’s the difference and that’s what viewers saw on that stage tonight.”
