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 Chair Laura Kelly Statement on Governor Tony Evers’ Announcement
DGA Chair Governor Laura Kelly released the following statement in response to Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers’ announcement that he will not run for reelection:
“Governor Tony Evers’ leadership has been transformative for Wisconsin. His strong bipartisan record is grounded in the issues that matter most to Wisconsinites, and he has delivered on his promise to make their lives better. At every turn, Governor Evers has shown what is possible when you bring people together to do the right thing for your state. He successfully passed fair electoral maps after years of extreme partisan gerrymandering, challenged Wisconsin’s pre-Civil War abortion ban, funded public schools for the next four hundred years with a stroke of his pen, and cut taxes by over $1.4 billion.
“No matter who emerges from the Republican primary, one thing is certain: they will be too extreme for Wisconsin, in stark contrast with the strong, results-focused leadership in the governor’s office that Wisconsinites have enjoyed over the last six years. The DGA looks forward to protecting Governor Evers’ historic legacy and keeping this office in Democratic hands.”
