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 this 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?
After Gov. Whitmer Passes Historic Investments in Public Schools, Betsy DeVos “Positioning Herself” to Run for Governor
After Gov. Gretchen Whitmer led the charge to pass historic investments in public education this week, news is popping up that former U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos is considering a run for governor to push her harmful agenda that rips money away from public schools.
Michigan outlet MIRS recently reported that DeVos “is positioning herself for a gubernatorial run in 2022.”
Michigan knows DeVos all too well as a super-wealthy and deeply unpopular crusader against public schools, who funds and supports Republican candidates that back her harmful agenda. Recently, during the coronavirus pandemic, DeVos funneled millions of dollars of relief funds away from public schools.
“Betsy DeVos is in for a rude awakening if she thinks her horrible record on public education stands a chance against Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who has made historic investments in public education without raising taxes,” said DGA Deputy Communications Director Sam Newton. “Michigan families haven’t forgotten DeVos’ crusade against public schools or the way she gambled with children and teachers’ lives during the pandemic. The choice is easy — say no to Betsy DeVos and any of the Republican candidates she’s funding to keep driving her harmful agenda.”
