I’ve been running for governor for less than 10 days now. I think it’s very clear that Bob Ferguson has been running for governor for probably the last 10 years. “I had nothing to do with that, that happened on its own. “I didn’t have to run an attack ad for that one,” Mullet said. The Washington state Attorney General’s Office had to pay more than $3 million in the settlement.
Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson is the current favorite to replace Inslee as the state’s governor, according to a poll by the Northwest Progressive Institute in March, but has been marred in controversy following the order from the King County Superior Court and the state Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) to pay a fine for failing to release more than 11,000 pages of records for a lawsuit involving the neglect of Emily Tobin, a developmentally disabled woman at an assisted living facility in Kent. WA AG settles neglect, document withholding case for $3.1M I think at the end of the day, they’re like, ‘Well, it’s nice to at least have a Democrat there who does support some of those values.’ I really do care about that.” And that’s been really important to them. But I also have been extremely consistent in my opposition to unnecessary tax increases. I’ve been very upfront with Republican voters my entire time in office. “You’re right, they probably wish I was different on some of these other social issues,” Mullet continued. “The Republicans that have voted for me in my three previous Senate races, it’s because I’ve always been very vocal on those issues, and I think it’d be the same in a statewide race. “Republican voters care about public safety, taxes, and being smarter about the level of business regulations,” Mullet said in response to coaxing Republicans to vote for him despite his political affiliation. In addition to his 11-year political career, Mullet also works as a small business owner, owning and operating Zeek’s Pizza and a couple of Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream franchises in the Issaquah and Sammamish area. In the video were Pro-Choice Washington’s Executive Director Kia Guarino, Ironworkers Local 86 Political Director Heather Kurtenbach, and IBEW Local 46 Director of Government Affairs Nicole Grant, all describing Mullet as “completely out of touch.” That being said, Mullet acknowledged readers of The Stranger - which released a story on Mullet’s announcement paired with the subhead “HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA” - will probably not look his way to replace Inslee in favor of Bob Ferguson, whose campaign team released an ad against Mullet just hours after his candidacy was announced. I’m not ready to concede any voters because I think there are a lot of Democrats who are similar to me, where they like some of those core values I support, but are agreeing with the fact that I challenge our party to be better on those three issues.” “There’s a lot of Democrats, like myself, who feel our party can do a lot better when it comes to public safety, affordable housing, and taxes.
“I’m not conceding any Democratic vote to Bob Ferguson,” Mullet answered. Mullet may enter governor’s race because ‘Ferguson is more of the same’ Inslee said the order is enforceable by police, but most agencies so far, including King County Sheriff's deputies, say they are not looking to arrest violators, but use it as an education opportunity.“Is it fair to say that a key strategy for you to advance is to win over some actual Republicans as you’re going up against Bob Ferguson, Hilary Franz, and maybe whoever else announces?” Jason Rantz asked Mullet on The Jason Rantz Show on KTTH 770 AM. Grocery stores, pharmacies, gas stations and other thing necessary for continued operations will remain open. The governor’s office will provide guidance on what businesses are essential, building on the federal government’s and California’s definition of essential critical infrastructure workers. "If you want to have parties on the beach or play pickup basketball or have sleepovers, these are not allowed for at least two weeks," Inslee said.
On the other hand, this new order does ban many outdoor activities. "We all just need to practice social distancing of at least six feet to protect ourselves." "This does not mean you can't go outside" for a walk or bike ride or do some gardening, Inslee said. Closings on businesses will happen 48 hours after signing the order. The order will close businesses and other public places, with the intention to reduce social interactions where this highly contagious virus can spread. "The less time we spend out in public, the more lives we can save, the more time we can buy to fight the waves coming down on us now and in the immediate future." "It's time to hunker down in order to win this fight," Inslee said. The order on gatherings and going out is expected to take effect immediately.
