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?
Statement from DGA Chair Governor Martin O’Malley on Missouri Primary Results
Washington, DC – Governor Martin O’Malley, chair of the Democratic Governors Assocation released the following statement tonight on the results of the Missouri primary:
“I congratulate Governor Jay Nixon on his formal nomination for re-election tonight. Through these challenging times, Jay’s strong, independent leadership has helped create jobs and expand opportunity for Missouri families. Jay has brought Democrats and Republicans together to balance the state budget without raising taxes, protect Missouri’s perfect AAA credit rating, and help businesses create thousands of new jobs. That’s why groups that have never before endorsed a Democrat for Governor, like the Missouri Corn Growers Association and the Missouri Soybean Association, have proudly endorsed Jay’s leadership.
“The contrast in this election couldn’t be clearer. While Missourians value responsibility and honesty, Dave Spence took a $40 million bank bailout, voted against repaying the taxpayers, and then lied about it to try to cover his tracks. Spence’s total lack of credibility on everything from refusing to repay his bank’s bailout to his own academic record clearly shows that he simply can’t be trusted. Missouri families deserve better.”
