New Poll Shows the Race a “Dead Heat”

Former federal prosecutor and Attorney General candidate Reagan Dunn today announced the endorsement of 25 elected Prosecutors and Sheriffs from 18 different counties.  Dunn has been in the Attorney General race since June, and his list of endorsements continues to grow.

“County Sheriffs and Prosecutors are on the front lines of justice,” said Dunn.  “The State of Washington needs these individuals to be successful for our communities to be safe.  And yet, many of the cuts and unfunded mandates from Olympia flow down to them.  As Attorney General, I will advocate for the tools they need to fight crime in their communities.”

Among the list of local elected law enforcement leaders are prominent Sheriffs and Prosecutors from major population centers such as Spokane, Vancouver, Wenatchee, Yakima and the Tri-Cities – a list that is growing by the week.

In addition to 25 Prosecutors and Sheriffs, Reagan Dunn recently received endorsements from the Washington State Association of Realtors and the Building Industry Association of Washington.  Earlier this month Dunn announced that he had passed his opponent in fundraising and crossed over $400,000 raised for the campaign. 

Today, a Moore Information poll was announced that showed the race for Attorney General a “dead heat.”  According to the poll of 500 registered voters in Washington State, Dunn received 24% and his opponent 25% with 44% undecided.  The poll shows that while Democrats have a generic edge in the state, the race for AG shows no such advantage.
