YJ: Why Jay Inslee for President?
- Focused on climate
- Legislative experience State & Local; executive experience as Governor
- Fundamentally ‘right’ on essentially every issue of concern
- Showed his ethics/morality by voting right way on gun control at risk of his legislative seat — which he lost due to NRA attacks/funding
- Substantive on issues — knowledgeable but able to recognize gaps and listen to/learn from others
- Really a decent man — don’t know a person who has worked for/with him who doesn’t speak well of the man
- And, come on, he writes a cartoon book for his grandchildren … every single year!
Okay — that man won’t be our next President.
He, however, merits serious credit/thanks for elevating climate in the national discussion/campaign.
And, good to see that candidate after candidate is thanking / praising Inslee publicly.
May he be our “Climate Tsar” in the next Administration because his climate plan(s) is(are) truly substantive, truly good, actually to the scale of the crisis, and doable.
What I pledge, is to BLJ: Be Like Jay and battle for societal moves to Act on Climate with the seriousness and alacrity required.
