Chris Reykdal Fires Back at Bob Ferguson: "Bring the Facts"
Washington State Superintendent Chris Reykdal is not seeking reelection. But he's also not ruling out running for governor.
In a wide-ranging conversation with Gee and Ursula, Reykdal pushed back hard on Governor Bob Ferguson's public criticism of student performance. Ferguson called Reykdal's departure "good news" and described Washington's test scores as "mediocre." Reykdal countered with record graduation rates, rising college participation, and expanded career pathways — arguing that test scores alone don't tell the full story of a student's education.
