Nick Brown has been declared the winner of the November 2024 election for Washington's attorney general, a crucial position overseeing the state's largest public law office. Brown, 47, a Democrat and former U. S. attorney for the Western District of Washington, defeated Republican candidate Pete Serrano, the mayor of Pasco, who emphasized crime prosecution and collaboration with county attorneys during his campaign. The attorney general's office is vital in representing state agencies and safeguarding residents' rights.

Brown's victory comes as current Attorney General Bob Ferguson steps down to run for governor, highlighting significant political shifts in Washington. This election underscores the importance of legal leadership in addressing pressing issues and may signal a change in the state's legal priorities.
