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?
Day 14: Two Weeks Later, Have Rauner and Ives Spoken? “They Have Not”
Late yesterday, Capitol Fax confirmed state Representative Jeanne Ives and Governor Bruce Rauner still have not spoken since the primary. “They have not,” said an Ives campaign spokesperson.
Rauner used his election night speech to tell the 48% of Republicans that voted against him – “I have heard you.”
Two weeks later, he clearly has not.
“Bruce Rauner was the nation’s most vulnerable incumbent before 48% of Illinois Republicans voted for someone else,” said DGA Illinois Communications Director Sam Salustro. “Now, Rauner’s spent two weeks ignoring Ives and her supporters, and has done nothing to repair the rifts in his party as he enters the general election.”
