Ferguson names 53-person team to assist with transition into governor's office
State lawmakers from both parties, lobbyists, local elected officials, lawyers, tribes and unions all have a seat at Bob Ferguson’s table as he moves into the role of governor.
Ferguson on Tuesday announced a 53-person team that will help with the transition from Gov. Jay Inslee to the new administration. They’ll assist Ferguson as he works to implement his priorities in the first 100 days of his new administration and looks for ways for the government to better serve Washington’s residents, according to the governor-elect’s office.
“Transition is a critical time for our state,” Ferguson said in a statement. “I’m grateful to this team for dedicating their time and energy.”
Ferguson’s picks include mayors like Lisa Brown in Spokane, Carl Florea in Leavenworth and Victoria Woodards in Tacoma. There’s a host of current and former state lawmakers, including Democrats, Monica Stonier, House majority floor leader, and Andy Billig, former Senate majority leader, and Republican Rep. Tom Dent, of Moses Lake.
