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?
Another Republican Governor Playing Defense as Democrats Expand the 2018 Map
Nebraska State Senator Announces Democratic Challenge to Governor and RGA Vice Chair Pete Ricketts
Republicans will be playing defense in one more state this year as Nebraska State Senator Bob Krist announced a challenge to Governor Pete Ricketts, whose fiscal mismanagement led to a $137 million shortfall and tens of millions of dollars in proposed cuts to education.
“Democratic candidates for governor have the wind at their back across the nation,” said DGA Executive Director Elisabeth Pearson. “We have great candidates running in blue, purple and red states alike. We expect a wide playing field including states like Nebraska, South Carolina, Kansas and Georgia.”
In 2014, the RGA spent half a million dollars to support Ricketts.
