Gov. Ferguson's vision for WA safety, budget & more
Washington’s former attorney general is the state’s new chief executive.
Bob Ferguson takes over the helm from Democrat Gov. Jay Inslee, who was the longest-serving current governor in the nation, serving 12 years.
Ferguson and state lawmakers are grappling with a gaping $12 billion state budget deficit over the next four years.
Ferguson recently announced $4 billion in proposed budget cuts along with $1.3 billion worth of new programs that he wants to see in the 2025-27 biennial budget.
