Washington state Attorney General Rob McKenna launched his campaign for governor Wednesday night with an ambitious call for big increases in state support for public schools and universities, while squeezing down the size of state government.

Taking the stage at Bellevue's Sammamish High School, where he graduated in 1980, McKenna told hundreds of cheering supporters he'd reprioritize state spending to boost education funding closer to where it was when he was a student.
