Governor Inslee's record of standing up to trump ... and more info

From his campaign website .... https://www.jayinslee.com/washington-story



Jay was the first governor to say he would welcome Syrian refugees to Washington state, and filed the first lawsuit challenging the president’s Muslim travel ban.

Washington state has fought back against efforts to curb states’ authority to enforce clean air and water laws.

As a state, we have opposed efforts to target immigrant communities and separate families by cracking down on data-sharing with federal authorities, providing additional resources to bolster access to legal services for refugees and immigrants, and more.

Jay supported and helped pass net neutrality legislation that made Washington the first to pass a bill protecting Washingtonians’ access to the internet.



At that website you can read more about Inslee's progressive accomplishments as Governor of Washington.

Inslee just needs to get more coverage. He could also be my VP pick for anyone.

He first got my attention with his emphasis on climate change, but I wish more people knew about his leadership in other areas. Thanks for posting!

He's the only candidate who canvased personally.

I'm not convinced he can win the nomination, but I think he'd be a spectacular running mate.

I am worried that he has a little too much in common with Al Gore, Hilary and a great many of other Democratic candidates. They grasp the issues and can speak intelligently about them. But any statement more than seven words long can be butchered today. As Charlie Pierce has pointed out, actual competence can work against you in Idiot America.

I am wondering if there's a campaign organization in Wisconsin yet. Have to write and see!
