With ‘Project to Resist Tyranny,’ WA GOP preps for Bob Ferguson in the governor’s mansion

Olympia, WALocal News

Following Bob Ferguson's election as governor, the Washington GOP has launched a 'Project to Resist Tyranny' to protect constitutional rights against perceived threats from the new administration. Chairman Jim Walsh voiced strong objections to Ferguson's actions as Attorney General, arguing they prioritize government authority over individual liberties. He specifically criticized Ferguson's public safety policies, suggesting they undermine victims' rights and law enforcement. As Ferguson prepares to take office, he may face legal challenges from the GOP over any unconstitutional actions. Walsh reiterated the importance of gun rights, asserting that Washington's state constitution offers stronger protections than federal laws, and denounced Ferguson's gun control measures as ineffective for public safety.

The GOP's initiative aims to coordinate legal efforts to challenge any overreach by the Ferguson administration, with a commitment to defending the civil liberties of Washingtonians through legal avenues.
