- Source: 2024 Washington Attorney General election
The 2024 Washington Attorney General election was held on November 5, 2024, to elect the next attorney general of Washington, concurrently with the 2024 U.S. presidential election, as well as elections to the U.S. Senate and various state and local elections, including for U.S. House and governor of Washington. Incumbent Democratic Attorney General Bob Ferguson was eligible to seek re-election to a fourth term but had chosen instead to run successfully for governor. U.S. Attorney Nicholas Brown, a Democrat, won the election against Pasco Mayor Pete Serrano, a Republican.
Background
This the first open Attorney General race since 2012 when Bob Ferguson first ran for the office. The primary election was expected to split the Democratic vote as Democrats Nick Brown and Manka Dhingra were on the primary ballot. Both Brown and Dhingra campaigned on similar issues like protecting access to abortion in the state, upholding gun control laws and ensuring public safety. Once Brown advanced to the general election, he advocated for similar measures along with "policy improvements" the Attorney General position can utilize to counter various issues like illicit drugs. Republican Pete Serrano campaigned on stopping human trafficking, making communities safer, and government accountability. Serrano opposed gun control and had previously expressed personal opposition to abortion, but said he would uphold Washington's current abortion laws if elected, describing abortion as a "settled issue". However, Serrano indicated he would not enforce the Washington Shield Law enacted in 2023, which protects Washington residents from criminal and civil actions in other states that restrict abortion.

Washington is one of two states that holds a top-two primary, meaning that all candidates are listed on the same ballot regardless of party affiliation, and the top two move on to the general election.
