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 Shumlin: Strickland a “Great Public Servant for the People of Ohio”
Washington, D.C.—Today, Governor Peter Shumlin, the chair of the Democratic Governors Association, released the following statement on Governor Ted Strickland’s announcement that he will not seek the Democratic nomination for Ohio governor in 2014:
“Ted Strickland has been a great public servant for the people of Ohio- as a congressman, a governor, and a strong voice for working and middle class families across the state. He played an instrumental role in President Obama’s re-election this year and in defeating Governor Kasich’s anti-worker ideological crusade in 2011. While he may not be our candidate for governor, Ohio is one of our top pick-up opportunities and we will continue to work with Governor Strickland to return the seat to Democrats.”
