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 Launches 2 New TV Ads Holding Rauner and Ives Accountable for Failed Records
Tomorrow, the Democratic Governors Association will launch two new television ads holding Governor Bruce Rauner and state Representative Jeanne Ives accountable for their failed policy agendas.
The ad titled ‘Worst’ focuses on how Bruce Rauner’s failed leadership has made Illinois worse economically and fiscally. Rauner’s two-year budget crisis led to more debt, a lower credit rating, and the worst unemployment rate in the Midwest.
The ad titled ‘Most’ lays out how Jeanne Ives’s policies are too conservative for Illinois. Ives supports banning abortion, overturning needed protections for immigrants, and would bring the failed policies of President Donald Trump to Illinois.
“Jeanne Ives and Bruce Rauner’s failed policies are a disaster for middle-class Illinois families,” said DGA Spokesman Sam Salustro. “Jeanne Ives’ positions are just too conservative for Illinois. And Rauner’s refusal to show leadership has made Illinois worse off fiscally and economically. It’s time for both leaders to start working for Illinois families, and not themselves.”
