Washington Governor expresses concern on Tibet crisis
by Yeshe Choesang, The Tibet Post International - 06 June 2013
Dharamshala: Governor Washington Jay Inslee expressed his deep concern for the situation in Tibet and hoped that the legitimate concern of the Tibetan people is addressed.
According to the Central Tibetan Administration, Inslee said this while interacting with Mr Tashi Namgyal, member of Tibetan Parliament-in-Exile, during the Governor's Reception honouring the Washington State Commission on Asian Pacific American Affairs, the Washington State Commission on African American Affairs, the Washington State Commission on Hispanic Affairs and the Governor's Office of Indian Affairs.
Governor Inslee was a member of the US House of Representative representing the Ist Congressional District. He had spoken in favor of House resolution 1077 calling on the Chinese government to end its crackdown in Tibet and to enter into a substantive dialogue with His Holiness the Dalai Lama to resolve the problem of Tibet.
He was a member of the bipartisan Congressional delegation led by Speaker Nancy Pelosi that met with His Holiness the Dalai Lama in Dharamsala in 2008.

I see no mention of his Inslee's beliefs other than he had a high liberal rating despite being on board with Clinton and his love of the environment. He has a lot of labor support and acted quickly to protect women's rights as soon as he was elected from hospitals that were being sold to religious groups and trying to avoid giving women choice. And he ran on expanding Medicaid and the ACA.

Just shared this on FB. It'd be a brilliant strategy. 2024 demographics would shore it up.
