ENDORSED
BY GIFFORDS
Attorney General Bob Ferguson is a fourth-generation Washingtonian who has consistently taken on the toughest fights on behalf of all children and families across the Evergreen State—and won. He’s been steadfast in standing up to powerful interests like the corporate gun lobby and built a strong record pursuing justice for victims, improving community safety, and holding violent criminals accountable.
Throughout his career, Attorney General Ferguson has written and passed laws to combat mass shootings and curb everyday community violence. In office, he took the Trump Administration to court and won a nationwide victory that blocked the unchecked dissemination of untraceable, undetectable 3D-printed gun files. Attorney General Ferguson also worked to ban the sale of high-capacity magazines in his state, held firearm dealers accountable when they broke the law, and defended Washington’s universal background check law from the gun lobby’s legal challenge.
If elected governor, Attorney General Ferguson is committed to keeping firearms out of the hands of dangerous individuals and building a safer future for the next generation. Specifically, he will direct the State Patrol to establish the first state firearm buy-back program and oversee the successful implementation of the state’s centralized background check system. Attorney General Ferguson will also invest in programs that reduce tragedies and are effective in suicide prevention, allocate resources to better train law enforcement on existing laws related to orders of surrender of weapons for domestic violence offenders and bring together governments, nonprofits, and philanthropic organizations in partnership to support proven, community-based youth intervention strategies to break cycles of violence.
With so much on the line this fall, it’s imperative that Washingtonians mobilize like never before to ensure that a gun safety champion remains in the governor’s office in Olympia—and that champion is Attorney General Bob Ferguson. With him leading the way, a safer future for every family from Seattle to Spokane will be within reach.
