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.

Washington Gov. Jay Inslee views the Chiwaukum Creek Fire

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

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.

baby boomer who was a
clean-cut star athlete and
honors student in the tur-
bulent 1960s, when he met
his high school sweetheart,
Trudi. 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.”

“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
