Statement by the President on Jay Inslee's Resignation from Congress

Through the course of more than 20 years working on behalf of Washington State, including more than a decade in Congress, Jay Inslee has never forgotten where he came from.  A son of the Pacific Northwest, Jay has been a champion of our natural resources while pushing for new sources of clean energy.  Jay has supported new frontiers in technology, and worked to increase fairness in our nation’s health care system. While Jay’s voice in Congress will be missed, I know he will continue his dedicated service to the people of Washington State.  Michelle and I wish him and his family well in the future.
