Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Jay Inslee releases 12 years of tax returns, asks Trump to match
AxiosGov. Jay Inslee, the 2020 Democratic presidential candidate with a campaign centered on climate change, released 12 years of his tax returns Friday morning on "Fox & Friends" and called for President Trump to do the same.
Why it matters: Personal financial disclosures could become a litmus test among Democratic candidates in 2020.
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) became the first 2020 presidential candidate to publicly release her 2018 tax returns on Wednesday and challenged her rivals to do the same. While Gillibrand didn't mention Trump, or the ongoing Democratic battle to obtain the president's tax information, Inslee chose to call out the president directly.

Also, not afraid to go on Fox News...

(14 posts)4. I kind of like what I see from Gov. Inslee
But is he taking positions on anything outside of climate change?
I do think he has done some good things as Governor, and appreciate him putting the focus on climate change, but I'd like to see what else he has to say about some other national issues.

(297,232 posts)5. Good on Gov Inslee.. The Dems who don't
go on faux.. are not "afraid".. they just don't want to give that FAKE "news" corp any cred.
Fine if Gov Inslee wants to.
All the Dems should follow Elizabeth's lead..
