WASHINGTON — Washington Gov. Jay Inslee says he has raised more than $1 million since launching his Democratic presidential campaign Friday.

That's a notable haul for a governor who starts his campaign less widely known than many of his competitors in a field dominated by senators.

Inslee disclosed his mark Monday on MSNBC. He'd already announced that he has contributions from all 50 states.

Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar raised more than $1 million in her campaign's first 48 hours. California Sen. Kamala Harris topped $1.5 million in her first 24 hours. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders dwarfed the field with a nearly $6 million haul on his first day.

Inslee is hinging his bid on an ambitious pledge to make combating climate change his top policy priority.

1. He will be the first one to receive a donation from me

2. I've been researching him today and am very close

to changing my Undecided to Inslee. It's still early, though.

He's definitely getting a donation from us on payday.

3. Inslee was on Rachel Maddow March 4th. Awesome segment.

4. Lacks name recognition

I bet 95% of voters will not recognize his name
Easy cure would be get into verbal fights with Trump.
