AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Ballot Fight: Washington advocacy groups sued to stop the Trump administration from requiring officials to set aside nearly 400 ballots flagged over voters’ citizenship. The state Secretary of State has called the DOJ list unreliable; nearly 1.7 million ballots were already returned, and Gov. Bob Ferguson urged voters to use drop boxes. Eastern Washington Race: Rep. Michael Baumgartner and challenger Carmela Conroy made final pitches in the closely watched 5th District contest, with Conroy emphasizing prices and Baumgartner touting his local record. Tacoma Detention: ICE awarded GEO Group a 10-year, $1.5 billion contract to continue operating the Tacoma detention center. Data Center Oversight: Walla Walla County received more than 700 comments on Amazon’s proposed Wallula Gap campus; many called for stronger regulation and oversight.
