A front page story in the Seattle Times has revealed that Washington Governor Jay Inslee is seriously considering a run to be the 46th president of the United States. The newspaper revealed that Inslee has set up a political action committee to explore his options in the race.
Inslee, a Democrat, has been at the forefront of Washington politics since he first went to Congress in 1992, a huge year for Democrats as Bill Clinton was elected. Inslee would represent Washington's generally Conservative 4th Congressional District in Central Washingon. Inslee was defeated in the next cycle after a Republican sweep, but reemerged in 1998 to be elected back to the House Of Representatives in the 1st Congressional District which encompasses suburban Seattle.
Inslee ran for governor in 2012 upsetting Washington Attorney General Rob McKenna. He was reelected in 2016. Inslee is known for his passion for the environment and is a frequent critic of President Trump.
