For nearly two decades, Jay Inslee has sounded warnings about climate change. Now the Washington governor is basing his presidential campaign on it. The question now: will voters listen?
Gov. Jay Inslee visits wildfire- and flood-damaged areas to drive home his message on climate change. Now it was a backdrop for the message the Democrat was about to bring to the 2020 presidential campaign trail — the message he has embraced for more than two decades.
“My wife and I had a discussion about this,” Inslee, 68, said about his decision to run for president on a climate platform. “We wanted to be able to say we did everything we could. And we realize how diminished and degraded and despoiled my grandchildren’s lives will be if we don’t get a president in the next term to make it job number one.”
The transformation didn’t happen. But the story of Inslee’s political career is that if at first you don’t succeed, you can try, try again — and again, and again, and again. The governor’s campaign will be a test of whether a climate-focused candidacy can translate into the kind of environmentalist victoriesInslee hasn’t polled above the low single digits but has secured enough donors to qualify for the first round of Democratic primary debates.
