With so many outstanding candidates now vying to be the Democratic nominee to take out Trump in 2020, I am asking everyone who cares about our planet to help make sure that Jay Inslee has a place on the stage for the first televised debates in June.
This year, the DNC declared that candidates can qualify for the first two debates by earning at least 1 percent of the vote in three national or early-primary-state polls conducted by qualifying pollsters,1 or by receiving donations from at least 65,000 unique donors, including at least 200 individual donors in at least 20 states.
Governor Inslee is qualified now under the poll standard, but let’s leave no doubt by making sure he hits the 65,000 contributors and clears the bar of 200 donors from 20 states. Those of us in Washington know Jay and enjoy both a prosperous economy and the most progressive climate agenda in the nation, but we can only do so much.
Even if you can only donate $1 or $5, it will count toward this qualification. I’m worried that the debate rules might change with the large number of candidates. Please do your part to make sure that Jay Inslee is on the debate stage so America can see what it would look like to have a principled leader, focused on addressing the challenge of climate change, as our party’s nominee!
