Governor: Ferguson put thought into his plans

I’m a Democrat and that is generally how I vote. I still make sure that I do my diligence and research on each of the candidates. If I find myself comfortable with the Democratic running, I color in that circle. If I am not, I leave it blank. I want the best person for Washingtonians. This year I became more involved in making an informed decision.

I watched the debates, read the websites, checked some records, and went to hear Bob Ferguson speak at events. As governor, Bob will shoulder more responsibilities. I had to be sure Bob was ready to step into this new role. Go to: www.bobferguson.com, read about Bob’s work for Washington families and check out Bob’s plans to make this happen. His opponent is lacking laying out a clear plan on what he will do (compare websites). Bob put a great deal of thought and work into informing the people.

Bob Ferguson will make changes for a brighter future. He works for us and not powerful interests. He has made an impact for Washingtonians during his current time as attorney general. Bob will make us feel safe by improving help with more law enforcement and building trust within the community, he will improve on student’s education and safety, build more affordable housing, continue confronting the fentanyl crisis, protect our reproductive freedoms, continue working for veteran’s and to create economic growth. Please vote for Bob Ferguson.
