Washington Gov. Jay Inslee is about to take climate change politics to the next level wit his 2020 run
said the timing for climate change as an electoral issue is “getting better because the science keeps getting clearer and more ominous, and more people are responding.” Still, Brown said, climate change is “not the main story yet … No one other than Bloomberg and the governor of Washington have highlighted it.”
Inslee is likely to bring a singular focus to the issue. As part of his campaign roll out, Inslee is laying out principles on the environment and climate change that he plans to support.
Dotzauer added that Inslee is “going to get some environmental money, absolutely, but there’s so many other quote-unquote candidates that also have some quasi environmental credentials, maybe not quite as deep and as broad as his, but at this point they might be considered more viable.”whether he can harness that energy, said Kelly Steele, a Seattle-based veteran of multiple Democratic statewide campaigns.
Less than a year ago, few candidates of either party were focused heavily on climate change, and even Inslee acknowledged, in an interview in September, that the issue was not “predominate” in the midterm elections compared to other campaign themes.
