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?
Cold Up North: The RGA and Jeff Johnson Break Up
After a Long Saga, the RGA Officially Cuts Bait on Minnesota
“Proud to support Jeff Johnson.”-The Republican Governors Association, 8/15/18
“The RGA will be here.”-Jeff Johnson, 8/15/18
It’s official. The RGA has official broken up with Jeff Johnson. Way back on primary night, the RGA and Jeff Johnson tried to declare their undying commitment to each other.
Jeff Johnson heard through the grapevine the RGA was going to cancel the $2.3 million they had reserved before Johnson won. Needless to say he was upset, and made his feelings known, calling out the Republican strategists who don’t have faith in his campaign.
The RGA had a choice to make– burn the millions they had reserved back when they thought Tim Pawlenty gave them a “top pick-up opportunity”, or acknowledge Jeff Johnson’s message was wildly out of the mainstream in Minnesota.
Week after week we got our answer as the RGA pulled back their money.
It really shouldn’t be a surprise though. Johnson was a losing candidate from the start, peddling conspiracy theories and promising to rip healthcare away from Minnesotans.
Now Jeff Johnson is alone again, but we don’t think he’ll be surviving this hit.
“Our condolences to Jeff Johnson,” said Democratic Governors Association Deputy Communications Director David Turner.
