Chip in today to elect Dem govs >>
Democratic governors are leading in the fight against Donald Trump. With our two historic victories in Virginia and New Jersey, grassroots momentum is on our side! But this year, nearly 80% of the country is voting for a governor – and with Republicans already investing to beat Dem govs, early support has never been so critical. Will you donate to elect more Democratic governors who will defend our rights and freedoms and stand up to Trump?
DGA Statement on Governor Dan Malloy’s Decision To Not Seek Reelection
Today, DGA Executive Director Elisabeth Pearson released the following statement on Connecticut Governor and DGA Chair Dan Malloy’s decision to not seek reelection:
“We would like to thank Governor Malloy for his steadfast leadership and service to the state of Connecticut. Throughout his tenure, Governor Malloy has been a national leader on forward-thinking policies. He was the first governor to pass paid-sick leave, the first to raise the minimum wage to $10.10, and he led the way on laws for equal pay, voting rights and gun violence prevention.
“We are grateful for Governor Malloy’s leadership in the Democratic Party and as Chair of the DGA. Governor Malloy is a trusted voice for his fellow governors, guiding a political strategy that helped Democratic candidates win tough races in 2016. Under Governor Malloy’s leadership in 2016, the DGA broke fundraising records, re-elected every Democratic incumbent, and won three races in states that Donald Trump carried. We look forward to Governor Malloy’s continued leadership as Chair of the DGA in 2017, as Democrats gear up for major pickup opportunities in 2017 and 2018.”
