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 Statement on Alaska Republican Primary
Today, Democratic Governors Association Communications Director Jared Leopold released the following statement on Mike Dunleavy’s gubernatorial nomination in Alaska:
“Mike Dunleavy is a far-right candidate who has set records for incompetence in Juneau,” said Leopold. “After 3.5 years of failed leadership in Juneau, the last thing Alaska needs is a divisive, partisan warrior as governor.
“Mike Dunleavy is the only majority-party senator in the past 30 years who wasn’t the primary sponsor on a bill that became law. Instead of solving problems, Mike Dunleavy pursued bizarre far-right causes that stood in the way of progress. He attempted to torpedo the Alaska Safe Children’s Act with a fringe amendment to punish Planned Parenthood. And he advocated for undoing bipartisan progress by cutting Medicaid expansion, which would threaten the healthcare of 43,000 Alaskans. Alaskans deserve a governor who will lead the state forward, not someone who will drag Alaska backwards.”
