Serrano, Brown poised to advance in Washington attorney general race

Democrat Nick Brown and Republican Pete Serrano are leading the primary race to become the state’s next attorney general.

As of Tuesday night, Serrano was in the lead with 41.9% of the vote, according to results posted by the secretary of state’s office around 8:30 p.m. The two Democrats in the race split the remainder of the vote with Brown at almost 36%, followed by Democrat Manka Dhingra with 22.2%.

Brown is the former U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Washington and before that served as general counsel to Gov. Jay Inslee from 2013 to 2017. He’s also an Army veteran.

Serrano is the mayor of Pasco and helped establish the Silent Majority Foundation, a group that has repeatedly and unsuccessfully sued to overturn state gun restrictions. He’s vying to become Washington’s first Republican attorney general in over a decade.
