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?

This morning, DGA Chair and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz joined Morning Joe, where he discussed the DGA’s new Power To Appoint Fund, stressing the importance of electing Democratic governors who have the power to appoint judges in light of the Alabama Supreme Court’s decision jeopardizing IVF therapy.

Gov. Walz stated: “This stems from the responsibility of Governors to be able to appoint judges, not Democratic judges, but judges who follow the rule of law. If you had a Democratic governor in Alabama, we wouldn’t be having this decision.”
Gov. Walz also highlighted the role of Democratic governors as a firewall protecting basic freedoms, saying, “This is going to be one of the major issues as it should be. This is the most basic freedom issue to make your own bodily autonomy choices and Democratic governors are there to defend it.”
