Inslee: Schultz 'almost totally' AWOL from policy in Washington state

Gov. Jay Inslee (D-Wash.), a 2020 presidential candidate, took a jab at potential rival Howard Schultz, saying the Starbucks CEO has been "almost totally" AWOL from policy in Washington state.

"He has never really engaged in public policy in my state," Inslee told New York Magazine in an interview published Tuesday.

"AWOL — almost totally — from almost anything having to do with democracy or policy in our state. Doesn’t even vote over half the time... Here’s a guy who wants to be president of the United States who didn’t even deign to vote, what, five weeks ago?"

"In Howard’s life, voting is just for the little people," Inslee added. "I don’t think his candidacy is going to soar."
