DENVER -- As mentioned earlier, Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano and DNC Chair Howard Dean addressed the Washington delegation this morning along with Washington Democratic Chair Dwight Pelz and state Sen. Jeanne Kohl-Welles (D-Seattle), but the star power did not stop there.
Phil Angelides speaks with Rep. Jay InsleeAlso speaking in attendence was Phil Angelides of the Apollo Alliance, a consortium of business, labor, environmental, and community leaders dedicated to creating a clean energy economy in America. Angelides, the 2006 Democratic nominee for governor of California, spoke highly of Inslee's progress in Congress on behalf of energy projects, and was sure to remind the room that his youngest daughter was currently attending the University of Washington.
"There has been no leader in congress who has been a stronger leader than Jay Inslee," Angelides said, and told the delegates that for the near future, "job one is to elect Barack Obama, and job two is to create a broad coalition of Americans who will move America to a clean energy economy."
