Chip in today to elect Dem govs >>
Democratic governors are leading in the fight against Donald Trump. With our two historic victories in Virginia and New Jersey, grassroots momentum is on our side! But next year, nearly 80% of the country is voting for a governor – and with Republicans already investing to beat Dem govs, early support has never been so critical. Will you donate to elect more Democratic governors who will defend our rights and freedoms and stand up to Trump?
Statement from Governor Shumlin on President Obama’s Personnel Announcements
Vermont Governor Peter Shumlin, Chair of the Democratic Governors Association, today issued the following statement regarding President Obama’s personnel announcements:
“In nominating HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan as OMB Director and San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro to replace him as HUD Secretary, President Obama has chosen strong public servants who are focused on expanding economic opportunity to all Americans. Both Secretary Donovan and Mayor Castro are leaders of tremendous integrity and credentials and will help implement our shared goals of creating jobs, strengthening the middle class, and growing the economy.
“Democratic governors across the country are promoting innovation and job creation through smart investments in education, energy, manufacturing, and infrastructure, all while working across party lines to foster the environment for businesses to grow. But our governors need willing and able partners in Washington to build on those successes, and that’s exactly what the President has provided with these nominations.”
