LisaM mentioned him a couple of days ago. Washington state, anti death penalty, strong energy chops, and has worked with all three branches of federal government, in addition to being the current Gov. Plus I like his caucus work when he was in congress:

Congressional Friends of Animals Caucus
Congressional Internet Caucus
House Medicare and Medicaid Fairness Caucus
House Oceans Caucus
United States Congressional International Conservation Caucus
Congressional Arts Caucus

I also like Brown. And there are a few women who would be good choices, and the campaign just said there will be women on the shortlist.

I wish Castro had a bit more experience, but like him otherwise.

I've been looking at progressives in the West, NW that have good in depth experience in one of Hillary's main areas of emphasis, like energy, healthcare, infrastructure, etc. Someone who could really dig in to one of those from day one would be great.
