Jay Inslee, the governor of Washington state, is running for president with a single-issue focus on climate change.
The governor’s intention to compete for the Democratic nomination was announced in an article published Wednesday in The Atlantic.
Inslee has served as governor of the state since 2012. One of focuses has been environmental concerns in the state, including reducing the use of fossil fuels while pushing alternative energy development and boosting green jobs, according to his bio.
Washington Gov. Inslee running for president
His announcement has gotten very little publicity in the mainstream media. He probably has zero chance given he is a single-issue voter. Could be a candidate as a running mate or in someone's cabinet.
