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?
DGA Calls on Gillespie to Denounce His Attacks on Northern Virginians
Gillespie caught on tape calling Northern Virginia ‘Enemy Territory’
Today, the Democratic Governors Association called on Ed Gillespie to denounce his prior comments attacking Northern Virginians as enemies.
New audio leaked today of Gillespie at a closed-door fundraiser in September, saying that he was campaigning at a Metro station in Northern Virginia, despite it being “enemy territory.”
“By calling Northern Virginia ‘enemy territory,’ Ed Gillespie made clear yet again that he does not in fact want to be a Governor ‘for all Virginians,’” said DGA Communications Director Jared Leopold. “But we shouldn’t be surprised—he’s been running his campaign from the Donald Trump playbook where this sort of divisive name calling is the norm. Gillespie should apologize immediately to the people of Northern Virginia for treating them with such disdain.”
