Presidential candidate Jay Inslee answers Daily Kos' questions

What importance would you place on addressing climate change as president?

Defeating climate change must be the nation’s number one priority, and the first and foremost mission of the next administration. If it’s not job one, it won’t get done, and I’m the only candidate prioritizing it in this way.

I’m calling on America to engage in a new national mission, a mission to defeat climate change, and a full-scale mobilization of the federal government to complete it.
