Serving together

Myself & @JohnFromPinckney: appear to be in a little dispute, concerning whether or not Bob Ferguson belongs in Heck's infobox. Ferguson has recently be elected governor, while Heck has been re-elected lieutenant governor. As I understand it, we've always had governors or lieutenant governors together, even if they weren't elected on the same ticket. So @Mandruss, Muboshgu, Space4Time3Continuum2x, and Golbez:, what should be done? Include or exclude. GoodDay (talk) 00:01, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

Undo; I misunderstood entirely. This is just about including the governor-elect? ... Mu. Kind of don't care either way, as the problem will naturally resolve itself in a few weeks. --Golbez (talk) 03:30, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

However, honestly, I see the logic in John's edit summary wording. He's a sitting lieutenant governor, so it does feel a little off to include the person who is elected to succeed the person he's serving with, in the "current situation" infobox, as that's ... a future situation... look, I'm doing my best with what I've got sober-wise right now. If I had to choose a side, I'd say include it, because, again, he's going to be there anyway, and if something outrageous happens then we can fix and note that, but 99% of the time we're looking at Ferguson taking office in January. But I do see the logic in wanting it omitted as well, since it does have the faint whiff of anachronism to it. --Golbez (talk) 03:33, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

I'm just going by how it's been done all these years. GoodDay (talk) 04:17, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

Washington is one of the states where "candidates' names are listed individually on the primary and general election ballots, which may result in voters electing candidates who belong to different political parties". I checked Template:Infobox officeholder. There doesn't seem to be a template for either governor or lieutenant governor of a U.S. state. My opinion: I'd remove Ferguson for now and, when he takes office, add his name and the dates when Heck was their vice lieutenant to Ferguson and Inslee's name.

I'll 'hide' Ferguson's name, until he assumes office in January 2025. GoodDay (talk) 17:26, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
