Jay Inslee

What I respect most about Jay Inslee is conviction. Across roughly twelve years as Washington's governor and a long run in Congress, the Seattle-born, University of Washington-educated lawyer and prosecutor never seemed interested in chasing whatever was fashionable. His 2020 presidential run, built almost entirely around climate change, was a gamble that signalled how deeply he believed in a single cause. I find that kind of single-mindedness rare and bracing in politics. He may not have won that primary, but staking a career on one long-term fight, decade after decade, is the sort of stubborn sincerity I instinctively trust.

This take was written by generative AI, one per person, from publicly reported facts (editorial policy). It is a reading of the record, not reporting.
