Friends,

Attorney General Bob Ferguson is currently celebrating an endorsement from Governor Jay Inslee. This might not come as a surprise given that so far Ferguson is running essentially a campaign for Inslee's fourth term as governor. It's clear that the current AG will continue Inslee's extreme environmental and tax-raising policies in Olympia if voters give him the chance.

This week, candidate Ferguson shared a tweet featuring a quote from Governor Inslee that he will “hold powerful interests accountable and defend our core freedoms.” But, as well all know, actions speak louder than words. And the reality of Ferguson’s actions tells us that nothing can be further from the truth.

The truth is that Ferguson did absolutely nothing to hold the “powerful accountable” or defend our freedoms” during Inslee's 975-day-long exercise of unchecked executive powers. While Inslee acted with near-dictatorial authority, the AG remained silent, failing to hold him accountable during Inslee’s extended unconstitutional power grab.

However, it seems that Ferguson's silence has earned him Inslee's endorsement, bringing him one step closer to his dream of becoming Inslee's successor. It's hard to fathom the negative consequences of – effectively – a 4th term for Inslee. And that’s why we need to heighten awareness of these dangers before it’s too late.

Shift WA is dedicated to exposing the truth and actually holding those in power accountable. With your contribution of $100, $50, or even $25, we can continue to expose Ferguson – and Inslee - for their hypocrisy and ensure voters across our state hear about it.
