Chip in today to elect Dem govs across the country >>
Democratic governors are leading the fight against Donald Trump and his administration – and they need your help. Trump and his allies have hundreds of millions of dollars to attack our candidates, and we have to make sure we’ve got the resources to fight back. With 36 races on the map this November, 80% of Americans will cast their vote for their next governor. We need to invest NOW to expand our map, win in battleground states, protect our blue firewall of Dem govs, and flip critical states from red to blue. Can Dem govs count on you to chip in right now?
Governors Shumlin and Hassan Urge Passage of Unemployment Extension
Today Governor of Vermont and DGA Chair Peter Shumlin and Governor Maggie Hassan sent a letter to Speaker John Boehner and Leader Nancy Pelosi urging the passage of the Emergency Unemployment Compensation Extension Act. This bill would provide economic support for the over 2 million Americans still struggling to find work after years of recession and job loss.
Governors Shumlin and Hassan, and governors across the country, stand ready to implement the Emergency Unemployment Compensation Extension Act. These unemployment benefits are critical to families and governors across the country have successfully implemented retroactive benefits extensions in the past.
