There was no shortage of evidence for climate change in 2020. It was one of our worst wildfire seasons on record, fueled by intense blazes. Both the virus & climate change have fatal results. Both can be solved through science & ingenuity. We must pursue solutions to both. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

And we can't let the short-term crisis of COVID blind us to the long-term health cataclysm that is climate change. Pollution & climate change hurt our health, from respiratory disease to new infectious vectors & threats from natural disasters directly linked to a changing planet — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

Whether it’s a commitment to our youth experiencing homelessness, or providing mental health or chemical addiction treatment to young folks, we’re committed to addressing these pressing challenges. https://t.co/KzReokhE9r — PolitiTweet.org

That means too many people in Washington state are living in fear. We should act in solidarity with people who live in unsafe or inadequate housing, because we know our fellow Washingtonians are more likely to succeed when they have stable housing. https://t.co/yoVYmCbjrf — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

COVID-19 has also furthered housing insecurity across the state Tenants and small landlords are facing unprecedented economic challenges. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

I will also work to remediate the impacts COVID-19 has had on our students. This is hard for young people, no one knows that better than parents and educators. There isn’t a sole answer, but we must provide supports students need, whether academics, mental health or nutrition. — PolitiTweet.org

But we must also continue efforts to make college affordable. We have the most generous financial aid program in the country, & as long as I’m governor, we’re going to keep our financial aid commitments so that more people can earn degrees, certificates or apprenticeships. https://t.co/pxJfDW6HMF — PolitiTweet.org

Career Connect helps people like her find opportunity when pathways seemed closed. It’s for anybody regardless of age or where they’re at in their studies or job search. We want all our children to have a career, not just those who go to college. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

More Washingtonians will have stories like Leela Cohen, who participated in Career Connect and will soon get her certified medical assistant credential. She’s already working at a Kaiser Permanente clinic in Bothell right now, where she’s much needed and much appreciated. https://t.co/NX6Jo3LUzQ — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

We must also eliminate barriers on the pathway to good jobs. We’re going to do this by strengthening new approaches to career training, building better livelihoods by creating more opportunities in our Career Connect program. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

We’re going to remove politics from our public health system & make sure it can focus on people’s well-being. People like our frontline & essential workers– grocery clerks, bus drivers & educators – who have been heroes. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

That leadership helped protect people like Cindy Franck, an RN at St. Michael Medical Center. She and her colleagues didn’t know what to expect when COVID hit, but they’ve been fighting ever since. We must take care of our medical professionals so they can take care of others. https://t.co/9ZviA8ZBml — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

Our leaders in the business community proved their mettle, like employee-owned @Superfeet. They make insoles & footwear, but when COVID hit, they made close to 50,000 respirator hoods & 450,000 gowns. This kind of entrepreneurial leadership happened in communities across WA. https://t.co/ktoWIdhNd3 — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

This progress can’t stop there. Our state’s economy is poised to recover, and what we do now, in the next four years, will shape the future for generations of Washingtonians. It’s time to take back the torch. Our careers, our dreams, our lives: We are getting back on track. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

I will be supporting changes to independent investigations. We will also incorporate equity into how we apply our laws and run our institutions. We owe this to countless Washingtonians who live with the realities of racial injustice and who are less free because of it. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

We also know that the difficulties of last year will not impede our march towards equity, and we all share a thirst for more justice. The police-citizen violence we saw in 2020 has traumatized the nation. We must act on these truths that have been overlooked for far too long. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

I’m confident in our future because Washingtonians have risen to that challenge. In the last year we’ve seen remarkable heroism, diligence & a stalwart commitment to our frontline workers from all Washingtonians. https://t.co/WO6MizgpUf — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

We’re already looking to the future. The aftermath of 2020 demands it. The last year has been challenging in ways that none of us have ever experienced. Beneath everything though we find common themes of relief, recovery and resilience. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

At the end of this legislative session, we will be able to say our state is more equitable; a state with more opportunities for careers and affordable housing; and a state that is more committed to fighting climate change than ever before. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

I’ve been honored to be your governor for the past eight years, and I deeply appreciate this chance to continue to serve. Today we are embarking on a truly historic third term and a new legislative session. #waleg https://t.co/ocusXwyAh7 — PolitiTweet.org

This morning I will take my oath of office for my third term as governor. Thank you Washington, for this honor. https://t.co/pgzqzlFE8q — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

Wishing good health and a very speedy recovery to one of Washington state’s most dedicated public servants. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

Today convenes one of the most unique and challenging legislative sessions in our state's history. The pandemic has forced us all to adapt our processes, and #waleg is no exception. Decisions await us that will impact WA state for generations. #waleg https://t.co/eJ3utzCQaf — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

Today I directed that WA state & U.S. flags at all state agency facilities be lowered to half-staff immediately, in honor of fallen U.S. Capitol Police Officers Brian Sicknick and Howard Liebengood, and all Capitol Police officers and law enforcement across the nation. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

We should not allow serious questions about why the U. S. Capitol security was under resourced to overshadow the personal courage of Officer Brian Sicknick and many of his colleagues who stepped into harm’s way. We honor Officer Sicknick today and his service and courage. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

These numbers are going to keep going up and up. We are making good progress on vaccine delivery, but it is not enough. I am fully committed doing whatever it takes to get this done quickly and effectively. Thanks to @WADeptHealth and statewide partners for making it happen. — PolitiTweet.org
