Jay Inslee advanced Tuesday in Washington's primary election as he seeks to become the first incumbent elected to a third term in the state in more than 40 years. At such a pivotal moment, Washington state needs the opposite of Trump-style chaos, Inslee said in a statement. We need strong, steady leadership united around our common goals and values.More than 30 other people also ran in the gubernatorial primary, vying to face Inslee in November, when he'll be a heavy favorite. Governors in Washington state arent subject to term limits, though most havent served more than two terms. Inslee is a former congressman and served as Democratic Governors Association chairman in 2018.
