Gov. Jay Inslee salutes WSU voter registration efforts
Governor Jay Inslee congratulated WSU students Wednesday for winning the state’s student-voter registration drive challenge, but it was his recently announced bid for the White House that drew as much interest during the quick Pullman visit.
Inslee, a University of Washington grad whose wife attended WSU, referenced his divided household in describing the satisfaction he drew from presenting the Cougars with the Governor’s Cup and bringing balance to the state’s longstanding rivalry.
“Today when I got to award the Cougars the Governor’s Cup for registering more college students [to vote], this was a great joy because now we have a one-and-one in apple cups” for the year, he said. “It’s a balance in my marriage and a balance in my governance as well.”
The voter registration challenge was launched last year by Inslee and Secretary of State Kim Wyman as part of a bipartisan effort to increase voter participation among students attending Washington’s colleges and technical schools.
