   With less than a year to go until the 2012 primary race in Washington State
   the open seat contest for Washington Attorney General is now clear.

   King County Council Members Bob Ferguson (D) and Reagan Dunn (R) will
   square off in the general election next fall in the race to succeed outgoing
   Attorney General Rob McKenna (R) who is seeking the GOP nomination for
   governor.

   2008 attorney general candidate John Ladenburg initially considered a second
   bid, but last Wednesday decided to instead pursue a seat on the state’s high
   court.  With the field set DAGA is more sure than ever that this is the year
   to reclaim Washington.

   Bob Ferguson has been a member of the King County Council (Seattle area)
   since 2003 twice knocking off long time Republican incumbents, in 2003 and
   after redistricting in 2005. Ferguson has been recognized by the Aspen
   Institute-Rodel Fellowship program as an outstanding young political leader.
   He has raised over $100,000 since forming his campaign committee and has
   collected a long list of statewide endorsements.   During his career as a
   King County Council Member Ferguson has dedicated his efforts to improving
   public safety, fiscal responsibility and transparency in government. He has
   pledged to pull out of the multi-state lawsuit against the federal health
   care law, which was a leading topic in the 2010 elections, citing that it is
   a drain on funds to protect Washingtonians.

   During their tenure together on the King County Council, Bob Ferguson and
   Reagan Dunn have been at odds over issues like consumer protection and
   public safety. Dunn (R) has often voted against measures to increase funding
   and support for police forces and against consumer privacy measures.
