Dow Will Sit Out 2024 Washington Governor Race


 The  Cascadia Advocate, which is the blog for the Northwest Progressive Institute, reports that King County Executive Dow Constantine will not campaign for governor in the event that current governor, Jay Inslee, does not seek a 4th term. 

Constantine and Attorney General Bob Ferguson where considered top Democratic candidiates in the 2020 cycle, however, when Inslee announced his intention to run for a third term, the two candidates declined.  

Two King County executives have advanced to the governorship.  That would be John Spellman, a Republican in 1981 and Democrat Gary Locke in 1997.
