SEATTLE (AP) — The presidential campaign of Gov. Jay Inslee has collected donations from more than 65,000 donors, meaning he’s met the threshold that likely guarantees him a spot in the first Democratic debate in late June.

Inslee is one of 23 Democrats seeking the party nomination.

The Democratic National Committee has set minimum donor and polling requirements for candidates to make the debate stage.

Campaign spokesman says Inslee reached the donor milestone on Friday.

Inslee has focused much of his campaign on climate change.

His platform includes a $9 trillion plan to transition the United States from fossil fuels to clean energy over a decade.
