Raul Garcia steps out of gubernatorial race to make way for former U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert
Republican gubernatorial candidate Dr. Raul Garcia announced Friday that he would be pulling his bid for the position in an act of solidarity to instead make way for former U.S. Representative and former King County Sheriff Dave Reichert, who formally announced his bid for governor on Friday.
Reichert, 72, filed campaign paperwork to run as a Republican in the 2024 governor’s race June 30, but made his announcement official Friday with a video posted online.
In the video, Reichert said that he was running for governor “to protect the vulnerable, to help small businesses and to keep people safe.”
“I have spent an entire lifetime devoted to those three things and I know I can make a difference. From Day One,” Reichert said. “I believe government should be open and responsive, not pitting one region against another, one generation against another, one family against another.”

Pitting one region against another is what the Republicans do Reichert.
