In 2019, Jay Inslee launched a campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination with a platform focused on combating climate change. Though he did not remain a top-tier contender, his emphasis on environmental issues brought national visibility to his climate agenda.
That same year, a super PAC named Act Now On Climate, which supported his presidential run, disclosed raising approximately $2.2 million. A significant contribution came from Rose Letwin, an environmental philanthropist who donated $1 million shortly after Inslee declared his candidacy.
During the first Democratic debate in July 2019, Inslee attempted to separate himself from lower-polling candidates by directly challenging Joe Biden’s climate plan, arguing that it fell short of necessary action.
Jay Inslee married his high school sweetheart, Trudi. Together, they have raised three sons and are now proud grandparents to three grandchildren. Trudi has been an active partner throughout his political career, particularly on issues related to children and families.
