After he discussed climate change and nuclear proliferation, we asked Gov. Jay Inslee some lighter questions
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee spoke to POLITICO Friday as part of a series of interviews with Democrats seeking to challenge President Donald Trump in 2020.
"I'm going to go with Castro. Because he seems like a really nice guy. And I don't know him that well. So, I'd like to get to know him."A: "Wherever he wants to go. I'm a get-along-to-go-along kind of guy.""In 1994, I was a freshman congressman in Yakima, Washington. It was a 65 percent Republican district. Things were not going the way the Democrats hoped. And a bill came up to ban assault weapons.
So, that was the worst moment. But it was also the best moment because, skip forward a quarter of a century, and I've got the NRA on the run big time. We've now passed three major gun-safety bills, and I'm running for president of the United States, in part because I believe we should continue to have the NRA on the run. And although that was painful, I have never regretted that vote for a second. Because it was a vote of conscience, and it had the capacity to save lives.
