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?
Dem Govs Get Results: Washington is #1 State in Economic Rankings
DGA Chair Jay Inslee’s Economic Leadership Pays Off
Today, Business Insider ranked every state by economic strength. Under the leadership of DGA Chair Jay Inslee, Washington is the top state on the list. The rankings noted the state’s booming tech scene that “rivals California’s Silicon Valley” and an economic climate that allows companies like Microsoft and Amazon to thrive.
The numbers speak for themselves:
- December 2017 average weekly wage of $1,107.20 was the second highest in the country.
- Q3 2017 GDP growth rate of 4.3% was fourth highest.
- The state’s rate of job creation was the seventh highest.
“Governor Inslee’s strong leadership and commitment to economic opportunity is paying off in Washington,” said DGA Communications Director Jared Leopold. “Wages are up, jobs are growing, and Washington’s working families are seeing the benefits. Governor Inslee’s economic success shows that Democratic governors are focused on building inclusive economies that work for everyone.”
