Mark Mullet in 2024 AdWatch


On Drugs: Criminal penalties for possessing illegal drugs

In his first television ad, Mullet jabs Ferguson for his calling in 2021 for the elimination of criminal penalties for possessing "non-commercial" amounts of illegal drugs -- in line with a policy that Oregon adopted but has since walked back. It could hardly be called an attack ad, but Mullet amped up the criticism during an interview.

"Right now, no voter realizes that I was a senator who was fighting to make sure we got accountability for public drug use and no voter in the state knows the person I was fighting was Attorney General Bob Ferguson," he said. "He was encouraging us to follow the path of Oregon," Mullet added. "I thought what Oregon did by initiative the previous year was a complete disaster. And it's played out exactly as I said it would."

Mullet's 30-second ad will run on television in the Seattle area. "I can't imagine a more important public policy position to be on the wrong side of," Mullet said.
