| Description | King County Councilman Bob Ferguson is expected to announce his candidacy as a Democrat for Washington State Attorney General within the next two days, sources close to Ferguson said late Wednesday.
The long rumored candidacy comes as incumbent Attorney General Rob McKenna is promising a decision by summer on a 2012 run for governor. McKenna, a Republican, is making pre-candidacy appearances, such as speaking before GOP faithful at Lincoln Day dinners.
Ferguson has career parallels with the man he would replace. He was elected University of Washington student body president two years after McKenna held the post. Like McKenna, an alumnus of Perkins Coie, Ferguson went from a prominent law firm to the King County Council.
The state attorney general's job has served as Washington's springboard to higher office. |
