SEATTLE - Washington governor-elect Bob Ferguson announced on Monday that he is creating a subcommittee in his transition team with the sole aim of fighting Project 2025, which they expect will be put into motion by the Trump Administration.
Ferguson's committee will be co-chaired by Planned Parenthood Alliance Advocates CEO Jennifer Allen and King County Councilmember Jorge L. Barón, who formerly served as executive director of the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project from 2008 to 2023.
"We are preparing in case President Trump attacks Washingtonians’ core freedoms," Governor-elect Ferguson said. "We will keep Washington moving forward no matter what happens at the federal level."
Project 2025 is the highly controversial political initiative put forward by the Heritage Foundation, with policy proposals for Donald Trump beginning his first days in office. Critics have called it authoritarian and Christian nationalistic, arguing the goal is to replace all federal employees with Trump loyalists, shutter federal agencies, cut federal programs, ban abortions, ban DEI programs, reverse LGBTQ+ protections, carry out mass deportations and more.
Supporters, however, view it as a dismantling and replacing of a bureaucratic, liberal government.
"I am honored to assist Governor-elect Ferguson in his transition into this new role and to co-chair this important subcommittee," said Barón. "As an immigrant and as the proud parent of a trans daughter, I am particularly grateful that the Governor-elect is committed to protecting all Washington state residents, and especially those communities at greatest risk of having their rights attacked by the incoming federal administration."
"This is a critical time in our nation as we look to the possibility of our communities being under attack from many different directions. I’m honored to serve on Governor-elect Ferguson’s transition team and to co-chair this subcommittee to support his leadership in our state and country in championing and safeguarding reproductive rights and all of the rights of Washingtonians," said Allen.
Ferguson's office says the subcommittee will put together policy priorities for the first 100 days in office. Specific policy proposals are still forthcoming.
Kind of dumb to be “fighting” something Trump NEVER endorsed or said he wanted to implement.
....and possessed by satan.
Dollar to doughnuts he has not even read a single page of the project let alone the whole thing.
Not EVEN a nice try, jagoff.
Concomitantly the Governor announced his committee for tilting at windmills.
Sideshow Bob is perhaps the most politically ambitious Demoncrat on the scene today. He will make demon possessed governors like Whitmer and Hochul look saintly by comparison.
Red states do similar when Dem gets in. But it usually gets stalled in the courts.
It’s a smart idea to try. Arizona border law failed but Texas is making gains. All red states should jump on prevent state legislation while SCOTUS is more friendly.
My sister mainlines dem propaganda and focuses on Project 2025 as Trump’s agenda. Her response when I tell her that Trump has not indorsed it is “Trump is such a liar!”
It’s a conceptual wish list from a think tank. Have fun fighting thoughts, Governor A$$hole.
“Critics have called it authoritarian and Christian nationalistic, arguing the goal is to replace all federal employees with Trump loyalists, shutter federal agencies, cut federal programs, ban abortions, ban DEI programs, reverse LGBTQ+ protections, carry out mass deportations and more.”
So, what exactly is the problem?
How can people be so stupid. Wait, his brother and aunt will both be on the commission.....paid of course
What on Earth is Project 2025?
Well, hopefully that will keep them out of trouble doing nothing for a while.
Do leftist politicians watch nothing but CNN and MSNBC? Project 2025 is not a thing for the Trump administration. The best I can tell, P2025 comes from a GOPe “think tank” that issues their wish-list every year or two to keep themselves relevant and the money rolling in. They don’t actually work to get conservative policies passed into being.
If you know of something different than that, please let me know.
A moron being replaced by a moron.
Ferguson is going to be Inslee on steroids.
WA State Supreme Court voted 4 for and 5 against, letting the Green River Killer out of prison, so he would be safe from Covid in prison. The State courts are literally insane.
Fellow (red county) Washingtonian, we’re screwed, Ferguson will be much worse than Inslee if that’s possible 😬.
I often wish I could get outa here! It’s expensive and the weather frequently sucks!
The only good things are my family and the doctors....and actually when you see it the scenery is spectacular.
Very.
