Inslee hits 65,000 donor threshold for primary debate

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Washington Gov. Jay Inslee (D) has received donations from more than 65,000 people, qualifying him for a coveted spot on a crowded stage in the first Democratic presidential debates, to be held next month.

Inslee’s campaign received its 65,000th donation on Friday, campaign spokesman Jared Leopold said. The campaign saw a 40 percent spike in donations in the last three weeks after Inslee rolled out a series of policy initiatives aimed at climate change.

Inslee had already met the other requirement that would have put him on the debate stage by scoring 1 percent support in three separate public opinion polls.

Meeting the donor threshold will score him one of 20 spots reserved for Democratic candidates across two nights in Miami.

3. You're welcome!

My small donation to him prompted my earlier post about donating to several of my favorite Prez nominees in order to help get them on the dais. I'm sure I'm not the only one here doing this. Their diverse voices and priorities are ALL so valuable!

My guv, by the way, goddess bless him!

4. I'm so glad my Gov made it

He's not my first pick and selfishly I want him to stick around this Washington, yet I think his voice is very needed in the debates.

8. That's very welcome news.

I hope he has some breakout moments that force climate change action to be front and center in the campaign.
