He is the sitting governor of the State of Washington and he is seeking the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination. Governor Jay Inslee was touring Iowa and spoke to a meeting of the Iowa Asian/Latino Coalition where he not only outlined his thoughts about climate change, which has been center to his campaign, but some surprising economic realities of Washington State. We start out by talking about the many progressive items he has brought forward and why Washington is the number one state in the nation for GDP. I think you'll be surprised and here is his campaign website.
