WA AG-elect Nick Brown warns of ‘dangerous threats’ by Trump | The Olympian

During his keynote address at the 2024 Re-Wire Conference, Washington Attorney General-elect Nick Brown expressed serious concerns about the potential threats posed by Donald Trump's re-election. He described these threats as 'uniquely dangerous,' particularly for marginalized communities. Brown assured attendees of his commitment to uphold Washington's laws and values, promising to take necessary legal action to defend residents' rights. He noted the stark contrast between Washington's political landscape and the national scene, emphasizing that many residents are worried about their rights being compromised. Following in the footsteps of his predecessor, Bob Ferguson, who successfully challenged the Trump administration nearly 100 times, Brown is prepared to continue this advocacy.

He specifically highlighted issues such as environmental protections, transgender care, and abortion access as areas of concern. His statements reflect a growing apprehension about the implications of a second Trump term for the rights and protections of Washingtonians, and he emphasized that his team will be vigilant in addressing any violations.
