Jay Inslee in 2020 Governor's State of the State speeches
On Energy & Oil:
Washington state is a state of climate science acceptance
There is an extremely effective tool available to us to reduce transportation emissions, and that's the clean fuel standard. We need what the rest of the West Coast has already built: a clean fuel standard that calls upon the oil & gas industry to give
Washington consumers cleaner fuels.We know this: Washington state is not a state of climate denial. It is a state of climate science acceptance. For those who say we shouldn't take action, I say climate inaction is just as deadly as climate denial.

On Jobs:
Goal is meaningful career training for anyone who wants it
That success story is about Washington's innovative Career Connect Learning initiative. We've built an entire system around helping people find multiple paths to meaningful careers. For some, it's apprenticeships. For others, it's traditional higher
education. We are also working to boost training for mid-career workers. Career Connect recognizes every student for who they want to be in any workplace. Our goal is nothing short of meaningful career training for anyone who wants it.

On Principles & Values:
Washington best state to do business and to be an employee
Washington state indeed embodies the best of America. We've been honored to be both the best place to do business and the best place to be an employee.
That combination is a rare and powerful testament to our state. And it says a lot about how we face challenges.

On Welfare & Poverty:
Reduce homelessness by half in next two years
Homelessness reaches all ages, all races, all backgrounds. Responding to homelessness can't mean moving people down the road, to someone else's city or to the next bridge. It's about giving them the tools and resources they need to get back on their
feet. It's about prevention, it's about rent assistance and it's about supportive housing for our most vulnerable individuals. Our goal is to reduce by half the number of people living outdoors in the next two years.
