I would really appreciate it if Jay Inslee were included in the list of primary choices.

He is an experienced congressman and 2 term governor of Washington state so he combines legislative and executive experience with a great progressive record.

He should at least be considered in these early, early primary days.

Thank you.

Then the list here needs to be narrowed to only those who have officially (including exploratory committee) declared.

I’ve been seeing a lot of him recently, and he sounds like a definite “maybe” for running. We have a few other undeclared candidates on the list, so I don’t see why he couldn’t be added, as well.

BTW, I note that Marianne Williamson (self-help "New Age spiritualist" ) is not listed either--though I really don't think she's going anywhere for what might be somewhat obvious reasons. So, if we don't add her, I'm not sure it is a problem. )

But I think the likes of Inslee, Hickenlooper and even Brown had better get in the race soon if they intend to run. They need to start raising money and building a campaign infrastructure.
