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?
Desperate to Avoid Trumpcare Questions, Rauner Cancels Fundraising Appearance
The Democratic Governors Association releases the following statement, attributable to DGA Illinois Communications Director Sam Salustro, on Governor Rauner’s last-minute cancelation at a fundraiser:
“Governor Rauner’s decision to cancel an appearance at an Illinois GOP fundraiser shows the lengths he will go to avoid answering for his administration’s inexcusable silence on Trumpcare. Instead of acknowledging the concerns Illinois families have over the impact of Trumpcare, Rauner decided to avoid a bad headline. In canceling his appearance, Rauner acknowledges the unpopularity of the bill among the public, yet still refuses to speak out in favor or against the legislation. This is the definition of putting politics over people.”
