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 Launches New Video, Website: RisponeDisrespectsVets.com
Today, on Veterans’ Day, the Democratic Governors Association is launching a new website: RisponeDisrespectsVets.com. The new website highlights Eddie Rispone’s comments attacking Gov. Edwards’ military service and the veterans community’s response.
In a radio interview, Rispone was asked about Edwards’ military record and responded, “Yeah, you know I’m disappointed in that, if I have to be candid. I think he’s hurt the reputation of West Point.”
Eddie Rispone doubled down on this perplexing strategy, and refuses to issue an apology to veterans.
“Eddie Rispone insulted not only Gov. Edwards’ military record but all veterans with his disgusting comments,” said DGA Communications Director David Turner. “This website allows voters to learn about Rispone’s reprehensible comments and the tools to call on Rispone to apologize. Veterans Day marks the perfect opportunity for Rispone to apologize but Rispone’s comments show he doesn’t have the character to serve as governor.”
