WA AG-elect Nick Brown warns of ‘dangerous threats’ by Trump | Tacoma News Tribune

During his keynote address at the Washington Observer's 2024 Re-Wire Conference, Washington Attorney General-elect Nick Brown warned of 'uniquely dangerous threats' that could arise from a second Trump presidency. He underscored the need to defend Washington's laws and shared values, particularly for marginalized communities, including undocumented residents and those concerned about environmental protections, transgender rights, and abortion access. Brown vowed that his office would remain vigilant and ready to take legal action against any federal measures that threaten residents' rights. He referenced the historical context of his predecessor, Bob Ferguson, who successfully challenged the Trump administration nearly 100 times in court. Brown's speech highlighted the significant disconnect between Washington's progressive stance and the national political climate, which he described as 'fairly sobering.

' By outlining the potential ramifications of the incoming administration, Brown's remarks resonate deeply within the region, emphasizing the need for local legal protections and signaling a proactive approach to governance in the face of national challenges.
