WA-GOV: Ferguson (D) blasts GOP opponent Reichert for remarks on same-sex marriage

OLYMPIA — In the early stages of the race for governor, Democrat and front-runner Bob Ferguson is casting one of his opponents, Republican Dave Reichert, as too conservative for Washington, sharing a video of comments Reichert recently made about same-sex marriage.

In a campaign video Ferguson posted Tuesday on X, a clip of Reichert, a former congressman and King County sheriff, is shown speaking at a February event, saying that marriage is “between a man and a woman.”

“Dave Reichert may pretend to be a moderate, but behind closed doors with his MAGA supporters he reveals who he really is,” Ferguson said in the post.

Reichert’s values, he said in a statement, are “inconsistent with those of most Washingtonians.”
