Washington Gov. Jay Inslee announced Friday morning that he is running for president
, pledging to put the environment at the heart of his campaign for the Democratic nomination.
Last month, Inslee visited the first primary state of New Hampshire, where he gave a speech touting his record fighting climate change in Washington state and delivered the same line that he used Friday morning to kick off his campaign: “We’re the first generation to feel the sting of climate change, and we’re the last who can do something about it.
But the Washington governor begins his campaign less-known and behind in the polls compared to some of his rivals in Congress, though he has had a longer political career than most of them. Inslee was first elected to the House of Representatives for one term in 1992 and then served continuously from 1999 to 2012, when he resigned to run for governor.
