Ferguson is running for re-election Nov. 8 against Libertarian John Trumball.
As attorney general, Ferguson directs 500 attorneys and 600 professional staff providing legal services to state agencies, the governor and the state Legislature.
He has been an advocate for consumers and taxpayers, veterans and military families, safe communities, the environment and responsible gun legislation, the county Democratic Party said.
Hargrove, a Democrat from Hoquiam, has served for more than three decades in the 24th Legislative District, which covers Clallam and Jefferson counties and part of Grays Harbor County.
First elected to the state Legislature in 1985, Hargrove is now the ranking member of the Senate Ways and Means Committee, and the Human Services, Mental Health and Housing Committee.
“Hargrove has been a tireless advocate for the state’s most vulnerable citizens,” the county Democratic Party said in a news release, adding that he has “worked to expand access to early childhood education, support victims of domestic violence and ensure a reliable social-services safety net.”
