The 2012 Pierce County Executive election took place on November 6, 2012, to elect the county executive of Pierce County, Washington. Incumbent Democratic County Executive Pat McCarthy ran for re-election to a second term.[1] She was challenged for re-election by independent Bruce Minker, a corrections deputy at the Pierce County Jail.
McCarthy campaigned on her record as County Executive, pointing to her stewardship of the county government budget during the recession,[2] while Minker criticized McCarthy for how she handled a contract dispute with county corrections officers.[3]
In the primary election, McCarthy placed first by a wide margin, winning 64 percent of the vote to Minker's 36 percent.[4] McCarthy won the general election by a similar margin, winning re-election 64–35 percent.[5]
