Support Jay Inslee for Governor of Washington State
This week, when asked by a young woman to take a position on the Reproductive Parity Act, Republican Rob McKenna said: “My position is that I’m a lawyer for the state.” He then told her curtly to “go get a job.”
That’s unacceptable. A serious candidate for governor should have the courage to say whether or not he believes women deserve equal health care access, and arrogantly dismissing a hard-working Washingtonian for asking a fair and relevant question makes his lack of conviction even worse.
It just goes to show that when Republican Rob McKenna can’t have it both ways, we get a sense of who he really is — and the real Rob McKenna isn’t pretty. We need to hold him accountable.
You’ll never have to ask where Jay Inslee stands on women’s health care or reproductive rights. Jay has always stood up for women’s health and won’t allow politics or ideology to take precedence over common sense and science.
That’s why he unequivocally supports the Reproductive Parity Act and efforts to ensure that the partisan battles over women’s health care in “the other Washington” don’t endanger equal access here.
That’s also why both Planned Parenthood Votes Northwest and NARAL Pro-Choice Washington have endorsed Jay, calling him a “steadfast champion for a woman’s right to choose.” It’s also one of the reasons I work for him.
Washington deserves a governor who will stand up for women’s health care. Jay Inslee will, but Republican Rob McKenna can’t be trusted.
Join us today, and show that you’re standing with the candidate who will stand with you.
If McKenna refuses to take a stand one way or the other on women’s health care, then maybe he’s the one who should “go get a job” — not the young woman he insulted, who, by the way, DOES have a job leading youth empowerment programs.
We can fight back against McKenna’s political ploys and half-truths, and we can make sure there’s no way he’s elected as our next governor — but only by standing together.
Thank you for standing with Jay, and for showing your support for women’s health care and reproductive rights.
Sincerely,
Joby Shimomura Campaign Manager Jay Inslee for Washington

Republican Rob McKenna has been sharpening his rhetoric in recent weeks, and we think it’s because he’s getting nervous — for good reason. This race is neck-in-neck, and McKenna knows it. At midnight Saturday, we close the books on March. We’ll send the numbers off for the press, pundits, and our opponents to measure our momentum. We still have $30,000 to go to hit our numbers. Right now, we need you to step up and help us reach our $30,000 fundraising goal before the deadline. Will you contribute $3 before the end-of-quarter fundraising deadline on Saturday? We’ve covered a lot of ground in the last few months. Jay rolled out his jobs plan to build an economy where good-paying jobs are created and middle class workers know their hard work once again really matters. We worked hard to expose Rob McKenna’s empty education promises — with the help of thousands of members of the JayInslee.com community. And now Jay is giving everything he has to focusing on this campaign and talking to people about how to grow Washington‘s economy. We’ve gotten this far because of supporters like you. I’m proud of our success, but there’s a long way to go and a lot more to do. Will you contribute $3 before the end-of-quarter fundraising deadline on Saturday? In a campaign this competitive, we can’t let any opportunity slip by. Every month when we report our fundraising numbers, it’s another chance to show our strength. It’s another chance for us to show the grassroots momentum behind the campaign. In short, it’s another chance to show that we’re on the road to victory — but unless supporters like you stand with us now, the story could just as easily go the other way. Will you contribute $3 before the end-of-quarter fundraising deadline on Saturday? On a campaign, you never know what might come next. But with your help, we can be prepared for whatever comes our way. Thank you, Joby Shimomura |
