Despite organizers saying as much, a communications spokesperson with Attorney General Bob Ferguson’s campaign for governor said media reports that he pulled out of a planned debate with Republican candidate Dave Reichert are “100% inaccurate.”
“The claims that Bob pulled out of this debate are inaccurate and untruthful,” Erik Houser emailed The Center Square Friday.
Seattle City Club planned to host the debate next month.
A Thursday afternoon post on X, formerly known as Twitter, by Seattle City Club Executive Director Alicia Crank, said, in part: “Despite months of continuous communication and coordination with the candidates for governor, the Washington State Debate Coalition will cancel its Oct. 11 debate in Ellensburg after Democrat Bob Ferguson withdrew from the event.”
