Former governor still on a mission to build a clean energy economy and protect our democracy.

Bainbridge Island, WA
Today, the Washington Supreme Court ruled I-2066 unconstitutional. Above all: This is a major victory for the health of Washingtonians, for our clean air and water, and for our utility bills—prevailing over the deception of corporate special interests and big polluters.

But I am also not surprised that Brian Heywood and his special interest benefactors were too braindead to write a constitutionally compliant initiative.

Most of America’s electricity grid, for the better part of a century, has been "renting" its power one fuel shipment at a time. Clean energy resources are the closest thing the grid has to home ownership. Read my latest: jayinslee.com/p/clean-energy…

America’s leaders must ensure data centers don’t steamroll communities with higher energy costs and more pollution. @GovernorShapiro is holding these companies accountable — that's the leadership every state needs right now. nbcnews.com/politics/2028-el…

Now this is state leadership, @GovWesMoore. Maryland is showing the country that saving families money on their electricity bills and advancing clean energy go hand-in-hand. 👏 governor.maryland.gov/news/p…

Last weekend, I met with wildfire survivors in eastern Washington. I was struck by their resilience and determination to rebuild. But no one should have to endure what they have.

And I just renamed Lake Michigan Lake Wisconsin. See, I can sign napkins that say things, too.
JUST IN: President Trump has signed an executive order changing the name of Lake Ontario to "Lake America." The name change is "effective immediately," Trump said. abcnews.link/82a4Sl7

There are 36 governor races on the ballot this year. Stakes are high and they matter more than people may realize. Why? States drive energy policy–and Trump can't stop state progress on clean energy. But it's up to us to elect leaders bold enough to act. thehill.com/opinion/energy-e…

When Dolly Parton brought her Imagination Library to Tacoma in August 2023, everyone who met her agreed she was as wonderful as her music. Thank you, Dolly.
Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old. Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000). A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact. At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at dollyparton.com In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at imaginationlibrary.com

The Texas grid failed in 2021, with devastating results. Solar power + batteries were key to making sure that didn’t happen again when the heat index reached 116ºF last month. Clean power made the grid more reliable and likely kept Texans alive. yahoo.com/news/science/artic…

Hi Brian. Wonderful to hear from you as always. I live on Bainbridge Island, not Idaho, among neighbors who want funding for schools, child care, and health care—not tax breaks for hedge fund millionaires like yourself.
Straight from his underground bunker in Idaho The Grifter weighs in on an Income tax because he just hasn’t taken enough of your money yet… The Governor of Grift The 975 Day Emperor The One-Issue Wonder Debate Stage Dropout The Idaho Kid The Clown Car Climate Grifter “Pennies, Only Pennies” the Clown “The Only One Who Can Save You” Stay Home Stay Broke Jay The Forced Vaccinator The Science Adjacent Autocrat He thinks (easy easy i don’t want to make any assumptions on that one) the only way to make your life more affordable is for the government to take more of your money…Pennies….

I want my grandchildren to have the same kind of experiences I had as a child—hearing the deep breathing of an Orca, seeing the beauty of a snowcapped Mt. Rainier, searching for crabs under rocks on the beach. That’s what keeps me in this work. ethos-project.org/2026/07/02…

I had a great time with @JocelynBenson and clean energy leaders last night in Detroit. She has a vision and a plan to drive down costs for Michiganders with cheaper, clean energy. We all walked away fired up. Michigan is lucky to have her—she'll be a great governor.
