Bob Ferguson (Democratic Party) is the Governor of Washington. He assumed office on January 13, 2025. His current term ends on January 8, 2029.
Ferguson received a bachelor's degree in political science from the University of Washington in 1989, and received a law degree from New York University in 1995. After graduating, he clerked for federal judges William Nielsen and Myron Bright. Ferguson then worked in private practice at Preston, Gates, and Ellis. While there, he represented King County, Washington, and the Port of Seattle in challenges to ballot initiatives sponsored by Tim Eyman and opposed a proposal to use taxes to help pay for cost overruns related to the construction of Safeco Field.[1]
Ferguson was first elected to political office in 2003. He successfully ran to represent District 2 on the King County Council, defeating a 20-year incumbent officeholder by 488 votes.[2] After the size of the council was reduced from 13 to nine, Ferguson was elected to represent District 1 on the council in 2005, and was re-elected in 2009.[1][3] He served on the council until he assumed office as Washington attorney general in 2013.
In 2012, Ferguson successfully ran for attorney general of Washington, defeating Reagan Dunn (R) 53% to 47%. Ferguson was re-elected in 2016 and 2020. As attorney general, Ferguson's notable lawsuits included lawsuits against multiple opioid manufacturers regarding opioid addiction and overdoses in Washington, which resulted in a $1.2 billion settlement for Washington healthcare and treatment programs. Ferguson also filed lawsuits challenging policies enacted by the first Donald Trump (R) administration, including an executive order that sought to suspend travel and refugee admissions for individuals from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen.[4]
Ferguson ran for governor of Washington in 2024, defeating Rep. Dave Reichert (R) 56% to 44% in the general election. On the campaign trail, Ferguson described himself as a reformer and said, "Washingtonians must have the freedom to make their own health care decisions, to be safe, to breathe clean air and drink clean water, to be free from discrimination, to start a small business, to make a living wage and have a safe work environment, to have opportunities to succeed in all kinds of careers."[5][6]

Ferguson was elected attorney general of Washington in the 2012 general election. Washington has a top-two primary system, in which the top two vote-getters, regardless of party, go on to the general election.[9] He faced two Republican challengers—fellow King County Councilman Reagan Dunn and Stephen Pidgeon—in the primary election on August 7 and received the highest number of votes, securing one of two available slots on the general election ballot.[10] The other slot went to Dunn (R), with whom he squared off on November 6, 2012.[11] The night after the polls closed, on November 7, 2012, the race was called for Ferguson.[12]

Ferguson announced on December 23, 2021, that he tested positive for COVID-19. He said he was vaccinated at the time he contracted the virus.[14]
Johnson & Johnson lawsuit
On January 2, 2020, Ferguson filed a lawsuit against pharmaceutical company Johnson & Johnson and its subsidiary Janssen Pharmaceutical. The suit asks that the company pay to the state of Washington the profits it has made from selling opioids there, along with money for damages. Ferguson stated that the payments, the total amount of which was not known at the time the lawsuit was filed, would be used for addiction prevention and treatment in the state. Johnson & Johnson issued a statement via email stating, "The company intends to defend vigorously against the Attorney General’s allegations."[15]
Federal executive order on immigration
On January 27, 2017, President Donald Trump issued an executive order, Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States, impacting refugee admissions and immigrant and nonimmigrant travel from seven countries. The order suspended for 90 days entry into the United States for individuals from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen. The order also suspended refugee admissions to the United States for 120 days while the process was reviewed for additional national security measures that could be implemented. The admission of Syrian refugees was suspended indefinitely.
On January 30, 2017, Ferguson filed a lawsuit challenging the executive order in federal district court. Ferguson argued that the executive order amounted to religious discrimination by targeting Muslims and therefore violated the constitutional rights of immigrants. The administration responded that the state did not have standing to sue and that the president was within his authority over immigration policy in issuing the executive order. On February 2, 2017, Minnesota joined the lawsuit as a plaintiff.[16][17]
On February 3, 2017, U.S. District Judge James Robart issued a temporary restraining order (TRO) of the executive order. The TRO blocked enforcement of Section 3 and Section 5 nationwide while the case was considered in district court. Robart wrote that Washington and Minnesota had effectively demonstrated that (1) they would be likely to succeed in their challenge of the order; (2) they would likely suffer harm as a result of the order; (3) it was most fair to the parties involved to issue a TRO; and (4) a TRO was in the public interest.[18] The Justice Department appealed Judge Robart's block, and on February 9, 2017, a three-judge panel for the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously upheld the block. On February 16, 2017, the Department of Justice filed a brief with the Ninth Circuit stating that President Trump would be rescinding the executive order and issuing a new one to eliminate constitutional concerns.[19][20][21]
On March 6, President Trump issued a new executive order that rescinded and replaced his January 27 executive order. Differences from the January 27 order included removing Iraq from the list of countries subject to the entry suspension, specifying that current visa holders were not affected, removing the indefinite suspension on admitting Syrian refugees, and allowing entry for refugees who had already been granted asylum. On March 9, 2017, Ferguson filed a motion asking a federal judge to extend the existing TRO to the new executive order. Ferguson said that while the ban was narrowed, it did not clear itself of constitutional problems. Ferguson announced that attorneys general from New York and Oregon would be joining in his effort to enforce the injunction against the new order. By March 30, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, and California had joined the lawsuit.[22][23]
In April 2017, Ferguson was named to TIME's list of "The 100 Most Influential People" for his filing of the initial lawsuit that led to the repeal of the executive order.[24]
Arlene's Flowers and Gifts lawsuit
In April 2013, Ferguson filed suit against Barronelle Stutzman, the owner of Arlene's Flowers and Gifts, after she refused to provide flowers for a gay couple's wedding. He first advised her to reconsider her decision and then filed a consumer protection suit against her, stating, "It is unlawful to discriminate against customers based on sexual orientation."[25] Stutzman's attorney questioned Ferguson's legal standing to sue. In response to the suit, Stutzman filed a countersuit, saying her rights were being violated.[26]
The Washington State Supreme Court unanimously ruled against Stutzman in February 2017, saying her refusal to sell flowers for the wedding violated the state's anti-discrimination laws.[27] Stutzman appealed the ruling and on June 25, 2018, the Supreme Court of the United States granted Stutzman's appeal of the state supreme court's decision. The state supreme court was tasked with considering Stutzman's case following SCOTUS' ruling in Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission.[28] For more information on SCOTUS' ruling, click here.
