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 Congratulates Governor Dayton on his Reelection
WASHINGTON, DC – Vermont Governor Peter Shumlin, Chair of the Democratic Governors Association, tonight issued the following statement on the reelection of Governor Mark Dayton:
“On behalf of Democratic governors, I’d like to congratulate Governor Mark Dayton on his victory tonight. Because of his strong, decisive leadership, Governor Dayton turned a $6 billion deficit into a surplus with $150 million in the state’s rainy day fund, and created over 150,000 new private-sector jobs. Governor Dayton raised the minimum wage, cut taxes for middle-class families, and provided free, universal access to all-day kindergarten. With the next four years, Governor Dayton will continue his lifelong work of strengthening the middle class and expanding economic opportunity to all.”
