Washington State Democrats Endorse Jay Inslee for Governor

Bellingham – With unanimous support, the Washington State Democrats formally endorsed Jay Inslee for governor during the fall meeting of the organization’s State Central Committee.

Dwight Pelz, chair of the Washington State Democratic Party, called the early endorsement a signal that Democrats are united behind Jay, and that the party is prepared to build an extensive grassroots campaign to send him to the governor’s office.

“With his focus on building a working Washington and his unique perspective from having represented both sides of the Cascades, Jay is exactly who we need to lead our state during these challenging times,” Pelz said.

Jay Inslee thanked Democrats for their support.

“It means so much to earn the early support of our state's most committed grassroots volunteers, who are fired up and ready to help us talk about the need to create jobs and get our working families back on their feet. Their help will make the difference in this race, and I'm honored to receive their endorsement,” Inslee said.
