Jay Inslee needs 15,000 donors

[Buzz cook]

In order to get on the debate stage.

Jay is my governor and he's a good guy. Although he's not my first choice, I think we need his voice going forward. His focus on climate change can pull the window of debate to this topic.

Hopefully it will also force the republicans to address it as well. That won't be pretty for them and should give plenty of ammunition to whatever democrat wins the nomination.

So send Jay a ten spot if you can afford it.

The DNC standards say that Democratic candidates must get at least 1% in the polls to reach the debate stage. However, many Democrats have entered the 2020 race, so the DNC may eliminate all candidates that do not reach 65,000 donors before the debate begins in June.

1. He's a valuable voice on a very major issue. I hope he makes it.

The country should get to hear him.

2. You have good taste. I think that Inslee and Warren

are so smart and are in public service for the right reasons.
I’d be stunned to hear if either one wasn’t a really quality good and nice person.
People like them make me proud to be a Democrat.

3. Some weeks ago I "learned" here on DU that he had made the...

... required donations. Too long ago to get with a search, as I get timed out (DSL). The article says it is not reviewed by Daily Kos. The article said he'd only been campaigning for a month. I'm sure he was on Rachel much longer than a month ago. Can anyone confirm this story?

17. I did not know that when I posted

I thought the article was new. It was posted May 8.

I can't find a current article with the number of donors, though 50k is often mentioned in earlier articles.

His web site says 50k and makes the same plea as the article,

4. Agree and thanks. Will send another tenner.

5. Well, I think he'll have to get his own donors, really.

The field is going to need trimming, so candidates who can't make that goal will be the first to go.

6. I don't understand your post. Get his own donors instead of what?

8. I thought he already got enough to be in the debate some time ago?

I thought I learned about that here even.

Unfortunate to see such a worthy and accomplished candidate get such limited support.
