Democrat Bob Ferguson, currently serving as Washington's Attorney General, expressed confidence in his campaign for governor just days before the election. In a recent interview, Ferguson emphasized the importance of maintaining momentum as he approaches the finish line, stating, "You sprint to the finish line... There's no such thing as a 90 yard dash."
Ferguson highlighted his extensive outreach efforts, noting that he has visited all 39 counties in Washington to share his message of defending core freedoms while also being a change agent for the state. He believes this grassroots approach has contributed to positive polling results and endorsements from nearly every newspaper in the state, including the Seattle Times.
While acknowledging the significance of endorsements, Ferguson downplayed their individual impact, stating, "I've never been someone who's put a ton in any one endorsement." He pointed out that even publications in traditionally Republican areas, like the Tri City Herald, have supported his campaign, reinforcing his message's reach.
However, the Seattle Times did raise concerns about Ferguson's campaign style, describing him as "petty, pushy, and overly ambitious." In response, Ferguson dismissed these criticisms, asserting that politics is a "contact sport" and expressing gratitude for the endorsement despite the critiques.
As the election approaches, Ferguson remains focused on his campaign strategy, emphasizing the need to engage with voters and ensure his message resonates across the state.
