Letter From Jay Inslee

March 11th, 2012

Just moments ago, I made an exciting announcement, and I want you to be one of the first to hear it.

Effective March 20, I’m stepping down from my seat in Congress to devote myself full-time to my race for governor and to talking to voters throughout Washington about creating jobs and building a new economy for our state.

In the coming years, we have a chance to seize our own destiny, build our own industries, and create our own technological revolutions right here at home.

And because that chance is so important to me, I am going to give everything I have to the cause of building a working Washington, and I am going to hold nothing back.

I am traveling everywhere in our state, and I am going to listen to everybody. If you have an idea, I want to hear it. If you have a problem, I want to know it. If you have a business, I want to help you grow it.

I am getting up every morning, seven days a week, to go out and listen to the people of Washington about their needs, their ideas, and their dreams.

This has not been an easy decision to make. I’ve enjoyed every day of my work representing the people of Washington’s 1st Congressional District. But I have not shied away from hard decisions before.

I did not shy away from the decision to vote against the deregulation of Wall Street. Nor did I shy away from the hard decision to vote against the Iraq war.

I was fully confident in those difficult decisions, and I am fully confident in this one.

THIS is the place where our destiny will be decided. THIS is the place jobs will be created. THIS is the place I can make a real difference getting 290,000 of our neighbors back to work.

I’m excited about what the coming months will bring, and I hope you are too. Thank you to the people of the 1st Congressional District for the honor of representing you all these years. And thank you to all those who have already given so much by helping me in this race.

I’m excited about being able to focus full time on talking to voters. I’m putting it all on the line.

Will you contribute $3 and help us reach as many voters as possible about building a working Washington?

The best is yet to come. Let’s go get ‘em!

Jay Inslee
