Ferguson asks 3 agency leaders from Inslee administration to stay on
Washington Gov.-elect Bob Ferguson continued to fill out his administration Wednesday, announcing he is retaining leaders of two agencies and shifting another executive into a leadership role at a different department.
Ferguson said he will re-appoint Marcus Glasper as director of the Department of Licensing and David Puente Jr. as director of the Washington State Department of Veterans Affairs. Both men were appointed to their positions by Gov. Jay Inslee.
Glasper started as the leader of the Department of Licensing on April 1, 2023, after a five-year stint as director of the Washington Lottery. Puente was named head of the veterans agency in February 2023 after three years as the agency’s deputy director.

Also Wednesday, Ferguson named Secretary of Corrections Cheryl Strange as acting secretary of the Department of Social and Health Services. She ran the agency from 2017 to 2021 when Inslee appointed her corrections secretary.
