<h2>Standing Up for Our Civil Rights</h2>

<p><strong>Attorney General Bob Ferguson and Washington Governor Jay Inslee announced in December they are requesting two common-sense public safety measures for the legislative session.</strong> One renews the call for a ban on military-style assault weapons. The new bill is House Bill 1240 and the ban on military-style assault weapons is Senate Bill 5078.</p>

<h4>Gov. Inslee and Attorney General Bob Ferguson partner up for two firearm safety measures</h4>

<p>He kept nearly 100 of the most violent sex predators out of our communities. He is using innovative new tools to help law enforcement solve cold case homicides and sexual assaults. He is working to end Washington’s shameful backlog of rape kits, because Bob believes these victims of sexual assault deserve justice.</p>

<h2>Standing up for Survivors of Violent Crime</h2>

<p>Bob puts the public interest above partisan politics. Bob twice sued the Obama Administration over Hanford. He took the Biden Administration to court to increase access to abortion medication. He has filed legal challenges against both Democratic and Republican county party organizations. He refuses campaign contributions from large corporations.</p>

<h2>An Independent Leader</h2>

<p>Standing up for the rule of law and American values, Bob successfully blocked – and eventually defeated – President Trump’s original travel ban. The Trump Administration ultimately decided not to appeal the first travel ban to the Supreme Court, and agreed to reimburse Washington for its legal fees. Bob believes everyone is accountable to the law – including the President of the United States.</p>

<h2>Defending the Constitution</h2>

<p>Bob partners with AARP to provide fraud fighting tips for seniors across Washington state. Bob strengthened our state laws around financial exploitation of vulnerable adults and identity theft. </p>

<h2>A Champion for Seniors</h2>

<p>Bob comes from a family of veterans. Bob’s late father, Murray Ferguson, was a veteran, both his grandfathers were veterans, and many of his uncles served in World War II. Bob works to honor the service and sacrifice of our servicemembers and veterans.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Working for Veterans</h2>

<p>Bob successfully defended the Affordable Care Act from the legal attack from the Trump Administration and Republican attorneys general. His Supreme Court victory preserved health care for 825,000 Washingtonians, including those with preexisting conditions. It also prevented painful increases in prescription drug costs for Washington seniors.</p>

<h2>Expanding Access to Affordable Health Care</h2>

<h2>Improving School Safety&nbsp;&nbsp;</h2>

<p>Bob made consumer protection a cornerstone of the Attorney General’s Office – holding accountable powerful interests that don’t play by the rules. Bob quadrupled the size of the Consumer Protection Division in the Attorney General’s Office – at no cost to taxpayers!</p>

<h2>Fighting for Consumer Rights</h2>

<p>Bob partners with Washington tribes to protect salmon and combat climate change, defend the Indian Child Welfare Act, protect tribal sovereignty from legal attacks waged by Republican attorneys general, defend self-determination, combat the opioid epidemic, and maintain precious tribal records at the National Archives.</p>

<h2>Partnering with Tribes</h2>

<p><strong>“The federal government has known for years that mifepristone is safe and effective,”</strong> Ferguson said in a statement announcing the filing Friday. “In the wake of the Supreme Court’s radical decision overturning Roe v. Wade, the FDA is now exposing doctors, pharmacists and patients to unnecessary risk. The FDA’s excessive restrictions on this important drug have no basis in medical science.”</p>

<h4>WA, Bob Ferguson lead lawsuit against Biden admin demanding increased access to abortion drug</h4>

<p>Bob is the most aggressive attorney general in the country when it comes to holding those who fueled the opioid epidemic accountable. He rejected national settlements and took the Sackler family and opioid distributors to court. As a result, he won $1.1 billion and counting that will go towards increased treatment in Washington and additional first responders to improve community safety.</p>

<h2>Combating the Opioid Epidemic&nbsp;</h2>

<p>As an avid backpacker and climber, Bob has a strong commitment to the protection of our state’s beautiful and unique environment. As Attorney General, Bob created the Environmental Protection Division. He won more than a dozen convictions for crimes against the environment.</p>

<h2>Protecting Our Environment</h2>

<p>Bob passed legislation requiring all elected leaders in Washington state receive open government training. Bob passed legislation increasing the penalty for violating Washington’s Open Public Meetings Act.</p>

<h2>Fighting for Fair Elections &amp; Open Government</h2>

<p>But like many lawyers, Ferguson appreciates the essential role of the press in a constitutional democracy. He worries that the state and nation are harmed by the erosion of local news coverage and trust in media.</p><p><strong>“I’m deeply worried about where a significant part of our population is when it comes to trust with our media and what that lack of trust means for our government, our democracy, who we are as a people,”</strong> he said. “I’m really concerned.”</p>
