General Voter Guide

Washington State Governor Jay Inslee 1. I am committed to stopping cuts to education and higher education. I will work with the legislature and the people to set priorities, protect vital services and ensure that state government does its part to get Washington working.

2. I do not believe new taxes are the right choice for Washington. We got in this hole when hundreds of thousands of Washingtonians lost their jobs, we will get out of it when we get those people back to work.

3. Washington is a unique state and we are innovative people. My jobs plan is tailored to Washington’s strengths, and our unique mix of agriculture, industry and innovation.

I have more than 100 specific proposals that I believe will ensure.

4. Kids in our poor and minority communities can achieve equally in a system that treats them fairly and maintains high expectations. We must provide equal access to tools, resources, and opportunities for all of our students. We cannot accept.

5. As governor, I will be committed to increased cultural competency training for law enforcement and a review of law enforcement measures on these issues.

6. See attached letter.

7. Undocumented US residents are afforded equal protection under the law under the US Constitution. The Constitution, as interpreted and upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court guarantees that no state shall deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process.

8. I, and my future administration, will not tolerate hate speech or incidents in any form. I am committed to an open door administration, where members of the Muslim community will have a friend and advocate in the Governor’s office.

9. Beyond funding, where the state clearly plays an important role, the single most important thing the state can do is provide accountability. Teachers and administrators around the state are doing creative, innovative and effective things in the classroom.
