Dave Reichert (R) have advanced from the state\u2019s nonpartisan gubernatorial primary, Decision Desk HQ projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The longtime Democratic attorney general and the Republican ex-lawmaker are vying to replace retiring Gov. Jay Inslee (D), who announced last year that he wouldn\u2019t seek a fourth term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inslee\u2019s exit made way for the first open race for the state attorney general position in years, and the contest drew a crowded field of candidates from both sides of the aisle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ferguson has served as the state\u2019s top attorney for more than a decade and reportedly raised more than $8 million for his gubernatorial bid, easily besting the other contenders. He also nabbed Inslee\u2019s endorsement to succeed him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reichert was a sheriff before he jumped into the lower chamber, and garnered attention for helping catch the \u201cGreen River Killer,\u201d a serial killer responsible for deaths in Washington state in the 1980s and 1990s. He\u2019s said he\u2019d prioritize public safety as governor, pointing to his time in law enforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Washington is considered a reliably blue state, and it last voted for a Republican governor back in 1980. Still, some polls have shown the pair just a few points apart in hypothetical head-to-heads. The nonpartisan election handicapper Cook Political Report rates the seat as \u201clean Democratic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both Ferguson and Reichert advancing from Tuesday\u2019s contest under Washington state\u2019s open primary system, in which voters do not have to declare a party affiliation to cast their ballots, and the top-two vote-getters move forward regardless of party.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson (D) and former Rep.
