(The Center Square) – The Washington State Republican Party has unveiled the ” Project to Resist Tyranny in Washington, ” designed to “prevent elected officials with authoritarian impulses from ruining the lives of people living in Washington,” according to a news release emailed to The Center Square.
“It is focused on several points of policy that are particularly related to the incoming governor and the concerns people across the state have expressed to the Washington GOP about particular issues Bob Ferguson has been involved in, and not in a good way,” Washington State Republican Party Chair Jim Walsh said in a Tuesday phone interview.
Bob Ferguson, who has been the state’s attorney general for a dozen years, beat Republican challenger Dave Reichert in last week’s election by a margin of 55.7% to 44% to become governor-elect.
“It’s more about him and his weaknesses and tendencies toward authoritarian overreach,” Walsh continued, noting three specific policy concerns the party will focus on as part of the new project.
