Add your name to save our national archives!

Friends of Bob Ferguson Last year, we warned you of an attempt by the federal government to rush the sale of our National Archives building. The DNA of our region lives inside those walls — including treaty documents and records related to the internment of Japanese Americans and …

Yesterday’s coup attempt

Friends of Bob Ferguson Like many of you, I’m still processing what happened in our nation’s capital yesterday. I won't sugarcoat it. The President of the United States incited a coup attempt on the seat of democracy because he lost the election. When I sat down with my kids to …

antitrust laws matter

Friends of Bob Ferguson As Attorney General, my job is to protect Washingtonians from powerful interests when they don’t play by the rules. That includes Facebook — a pervasive social media platform worth hundreds of billions of dollars. Facebook implemented a strategy to “buy o…

not under my watch

Friends of Bob Ferguson The federal government is selling the national archives building in Seattle. This facility is the repository for our history. As the LA Times wrote, this “has long been a treasure trove for anybody interested in the history of the Pacific Northwest or Alas…

the upcoming freeze

Friends of Bob Ferguson Beginning on December 12th, Washington state law requires a mandatory “freeze” on all fundraising for statewide elected officials, like Bob. In other words, Bob cannot accept campaign contributions as long as the state legislature is in session (and in the…

I’ve had enough of Donald Trump’s illegal activity

Friends of Bob Ferguson Look, President Trump lost the election, but his damaging, illegal policies will not automatically go away when he leaves the White House. We are continuing to fight him in court — and we are continuing to win. We achieved another major victory when we de…

the final contrast

Friends of Bob Ferguson Today is Election Day, and there is a clear contrast in this race. My self-described, “conservative Republican” opponent proudly supports the president’s illegal policies. He’s even said, “I love the policies [President Trump] is adopting. He’s doing great…

President Trump’s latest effort to interfere with Tuesday’s election

$50,000 dollars in the last week alone

Friends of Bob Ferguson My opponent is ramping up his efforts. He’s spending a quarter of a million dollars to run a dishonest attack ad against me — including $50,000 dollars in the last week alone. The support he’s getting from corporate dark money PACs, GOP mega-donors and the …
