Friend,

This is an unprecedented moment in American history: We are facing crises in public health, our economy, and trust in law enforcement. Donald Trump has proven not just to be a failure at addressing them -- he's made them worse.

That's why I am reaching out to ask you to join me in supporting my friend Jay Inslee. Here's why: During this chaotic and uncertain time, Jay has set a national example of thoughtful, steady, progressive leadership during multiple crises -- that's a sharp contrast to the chaos from the other Washington.

Look, we know that Trump's not going to stop tweeting. And we know he won't let up on his hateful agenda. That's why it's so important that we have the back of leaders like Jay Inslee who prove to us every day how important it is to have strong leadership in states across America.

Jay's one of only four Democratic governorships we have to defend this November, and he needs our help to fight back against attacks -- from the GOP in Washington, D.C. to the GOP in Washington state. He has a goal of raising $50,000 by midnight on Friday: Donate $5 or more right now to support Jay Inslee.

It's clear that this nation needs real leadership. And Jay has shown time and time again that he is the steady, thoughtful leader for the people of his state. Over the past few months, he's made Washingtonians' health and safety a top priority, following science and data to flatten the curve in Washington state and save countless lives. He's heard the voices of citizens taking to the streets to seek justice and equity.

And under Governor Inslee's leadership over the last eight years, Washington state has led the country by putting into place progressive policies like paid family and medical leave, mandated paid sick days, expanding health care for nearly 800,000 Washingtonians, the highest minimum wage of any state, and the most progressive voting rights laws in America.

When you compare this to the nonsense coming out of the White House, it's all the more clear why Jay's leadership matters.

That's why I have Jay's back, and I hope you'll join me.

There has never been a time when strong, thoughtful leadership was more necessary than right now, and it is critical that Governor Inslee has the resources he needs to win reelection this fall. Donate $5 or more to support Governor Jay Inslee's reelection campaign right now.

Thanks,

Beto

P.S. -- I'm joining Jay tonight to talk about all this and more over Zoom, and you're invited to join the conversation, too. Make a donation, and we'll send you all the details -- hope to see you tonight.
