THC Science

The 2024 Washington gubernatorial election will be held on November 5, 2024. The top-two primary will be held on August 6.

Incumbent Democratic Governor Jay Inslee announced on May 1, 2023 that he would not run for a fourth term.^[1] Inslee, who previously served in the U.S. House, was first elected Governor in 2012 and won re-election in 2016 and 2020 by increasing margins each time. Washington has not had a Republican governor since John Spellman left office in 1985,^[2] the longest streak of Democratic leadership of any state in the country and the third longest streak of one-party leadership after South Dakota (which has not had a Democratic governor since Harvey Wollman left office in 1979) and Utah (which has not had a Democratic governor since Scott Matheson left office nine days prior to Spellman in 1985).^[3]^[4]^[5]
