Washington gubernatorial election, 2012
From Ballotpedia - Reading time: 15 min
The Washington gubernatorial election took place on November 6, 2012, following a primary on August 7, 2012. Washington has a "Top 2" primary system, also known as a blanket primary, in which all candidates run in one race, regardless of party affiliation. Candidates may indicate which party they prefer, but their preference "does not imply that the candidate is nominated or endorsed by the party, or that the party approves of or associates with that candidate."[1] The two candidates who receive the most votes then advance to the general election.
Jay Inslee (D)
Rob McKenna (R)
Jay Inslee was declared the winner on the evening of November 9, 2012, three days after the election. Inslee's lead had expanded to the point where McKenna had to concede defeat, despite the vote tallies being incomplete.[2][3]
On June 13, 2011, incumbent Christine Gregoire (D) announced she would not seek another term in office.[4] After Gregoire revealed her imminent departure, two candidates emerged as clear front-runners: former Congressman Jay Inslee (D) and Rob McKenna (R). Inslee initially indicated he would hold his seat in Congress throughout the election cycle, but resigned on March 11 in order to focus on his campaign.[5]
Inslee finished first in the August 7th primary, with McKenna close behind him. The two faced off, as expected, in November.
The race to fill Gregoire's open seat was considered one of the most competitive in the county. After a series of five televised debates, record-breaking spending ($11.3 million in reported donations and independent expenditures from the Republican Governor's Association puts the figure over $40 million),[6] and rolling media blitzes from both sides, Inslee and McKenna remained neck and neck in the weeks leading up to the general election. Polls reflected the tightness of the race: Although Inslee held an average edge of one to three points between June and mid-October, McKenna outstripped Inslee 47-45 in an Elway Research Poll conducted close to the general election date, re-claiming his lead from the spring.[7][8] The summary of results from that survey read, "with 8% of likely voters still undecided...there is still plenty of life left in what is considered to be the hottest governors' race in the country."[7]

Race background[edit]
On his website, Inslee noted that as governor, his priority "will be to create jobs in Washington and to expand economic opportunities in manufacturing, clean energy, high tech, biotech, agriculture and aerospace."[9] He also plans to:
- help build a thriving, innovative economy that will form a lasting prosperity in communities around the state.
- help create an educational foundation and an infrastructure system that will each serve as an engine of job creation while also protecting the quality of life in Washington.[9]
In early October 2011, Inslee drew criticism from the Seattle Times editorial board, which argued he should have focused his campaign on state issues and not on whether his opponent, Rob McKenna, had sufficiently supported health insurance reform.[10]
McKenna outlined his plans for the governorship on his official campaign website. Key issues included, but were not limited to:[11]
- create jobs through "tax reform and simplification, regulatory reform, and "developing the skills and education workers need to land well-paying positions."
- improve education through "innovative teaching practices, incentives, and flexibility that promote quality, and a variety of school models to meet differing student needs and society’s needs."
- reforming Washington's government by "promoting performance and utilizing competitive processes," through performance audits, required performance contracts, budgeting long-term, and reducing the size and cost of state general government.
- improve the agriculture sector by making "sure that our goods can be delivered efficiently, economically, and in a timely manner throughout the entire year."
Other candidates who ran in the primary include: Shahram Hadian, Javier Lopez and Max Sampson (who all prefer the Republican Party); Rob Hill (prefers the Democratic Party); and Dale Sorgen (prefers the Independent Party).[12]

Debates[edit]
The televised debate series between Washington gubernatorial candidates Inslee and McKenna ended on October 16, 2012 with the pair squaring off for the fifth time since the primary election on issues such as education funding, job creation, and taxes.[18] Highlights included the candidates trading proposals for growing the public education budget and improving the overall functioning of Washington's government. McKenna wants to bring in a "fresh crew" and end the 28 year streak of Democratic governors, while Inslee says that he could enhance government efficiency and productivity by having state employees receive "lean management" training.[18] Inslee supports expansionary economic policies that would pump extra money to education, whereas McKenna proposes a budget-wide spending cap that would direct excess revenue into the struggling education system.[18]
Inslee and McKenna butted heads most aggressively about McKenna's property-tax-swap plan to address a Washington Supreme Court ruling that the tax burden for funding public education is distributed unfairly between state and local governments. Inslee called the proposal, which is a tentpole of McKenna's campaign, a "gimmick" that would relieve the property tax burden for some, but raise levies in wealthier neighborhoods. "It may help Olympia politicians on paper; it does not help students in school," Inslee said. McKenna shot back, "Your premise is false, Jay...you just keep repeating it because you hope by repetition it will just fool people into believing it,"[18] language he revisited later in the debate when Inslee accused him of being an inadequate promoter of abortion rights.
