Newspaper Page TextA2 THE DAILY ASTORIAN • FRIDAY, MARCH 1, 2019 Washington Gov. Inslee joins Democratic presidential ﬁ eld First governor in the primary By BILL BARROW and RACHEL LA CORTE Associated Press SEATTLE — Washing- ton Gov. Jay Inslee will seek the 2020 Democratic pres- idential nomination, mix- ing calls for combating cli- mate change and highlights of his liberal record with an aggressive critique of Presi- dent Donald Trump. The 68-year-old gover- nor launched his bid today in Seattle, following recent vis- its to the ﬁ rst primary state of New Hampshire and the early caucus state of Nevada. “We went to the moon and created technologies that have changed the world — our country’s next mis- sion must be to rise up to the most urgent challenge of our time: defeating cli- mate change,” Inslee said in a video announcement . Inslee is the ﬁ rst governor to join a Democratic primary that has been dominated by senators. Montana Gov. Steve Bullock and former AP Photo/Ted S. Warren Washington Gov. Jay Inslee views the Chiwaukum Creek Fire near Leavenworth, Wash., from the air in 2014. Colorado Gov. John Hicken- looper are eyeing presiden- tial campaigns. It will not be easy for Ins- lee to garner attention with six prominent senators — Cory Booker of New Jersey, Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, Kamala Harris of Cal- ifornia, Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts — already running. Former Vice President Joe Biden and former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke also are expected to make highly anticipated 2020 announcements in the coming weeks. Inslee acknowledges his underdog status but says his emphasis on combating cli- mate change will set him apart. “Climate change is a uni- fying issue,” Inslee told The Associated Press in a recent interview, calling it a moral necessity and an economic opportunity. He promises substantial investment in clean energy sources that reduce Amer- ican dependence on fossil fuels. Stavebolt Bridge near milepost 3 on Logan Road will be closed to all through trafﬁ c starting March 11. The bridge will remain closed for road mainte- that a climate champion like @GovInslee will be in the race, pushing the country to recognize what is at stake.” Inslee has not speciﬁ cally endorsed the Green New Deal introduced by New York Rep. Alexandria Oca- sio-Cortez and Massachu- setts Sen. Ed Markey, though he said last month that he was “thrilled that this ... res- olution has been brought for- ward” as a way to push for action. He has argued sepa- rately for an issue-by-is- sue approach that adds up to sweeping change. He gener- ally avoids promising spe- ciﬁ c reductions of carbon emissions under an abso- lute timeframe. The Green New Deal targets 2030 for the U.S. to become net car- bon neutral. Despite his emphasis on climate policy, Inslee says he’s not a one-issue candi- date. A former congressman, he pitches his breadth of per- sonal and political experi- ences as ideal to bridge polit- ical and cultural divides among the Democratic base and the broader electorate. Inslee is a white male nance through early May. Drivers are advised to use Lewis and Clark Road as a detour route. In honor of Women’s History Month, Abigail Scott Duniway, portrayed by LaRee Johnson, makes an appearance at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Astoria Library, 450 10th St. There is no cost for this event. Duniway’s story is one of loss and courage, exploration and tenacity, from when she crossed the Oregon Trail at 17, through the 40 years she worked towards suﬀ rage for women.

She is now his wife of 46 years. That puts Ins- lee closer to the septuagenar- ian Biden than to the young rock-star-style candidates like O’Rourke or Booker, both in their 40s. Inslee has nonetheless governed Washington state as an unabashed liberal, pro- moting clean energy, gay rights, abortion rights, envi- ronmental preservation, tighter gun restrictions and more spending for educa- tion and job training. Most recently, he’s called for a state-based public option health insurance plan that he calls a “step toward univer- sal health care.” Republicans have not embraced him, with the state GOP recently deriding his “extreme environmental agenda” and pointing to its price tag. Senate Republican leader Mark Schoesler has quipped that Inslee’s policies “may be geared toward Iowa more than Washington.” Library celebrates Women’s History Month Stavebolt Bridge on Logan Road to close March 11 The Daily Astorian “This issue is connected to virtually every other value system and thing we want to do in our communities,” he said, mentioning environ- mental justice, infrastruc- ture, clean energy, health care and national security. Inslee argues that no pres- idential candidate has hinged a campaign as heavily on cli- mate and environmental pol- icy as he will. He plans his ﬁ rst trip as a candidate to Iowa next week, with events geared to climate issues. Trips to Nevada and Califor- nia will follow. He may have a larger opening on climate since bil- lionaire environmental activ- ist Tom Steyer has passed on a national campaign, opting instead to continue his advo- cacy for impeaching and removing Trump from ofﬁ ce. Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a billionaire who has spent millions of dollars on cli- mate issues, may run. Steyer hasn’t indicated whether he’ll use his fortune to back a presidential candi- date, but he welcomed Ins- lee’s announcement, tweet- ing today , “It’s good to know W c pc c c c pc s s pc c c c c c pc c c sh pc sn c c pc s r Hi 64 37 33 27 23 38 79 21 80 42 28 68 62 55 85 53 77 41 37 43 37 44 59 47 52 Sat.
