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 Beto O’Rourke’s Primary Victory in Texas
Tonight, DGA Chair and North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper released the following statement on Beto O’Rourke securing the Democratic nomination for governor of Texas:
“Congratulations to Beto O’Rourke on winning the Democratic nomination for governor in Texas. When Texas faced times of crisis, Beto stepped up to provide steady, empathetic leadership when the Governor didn’t.
“Texans are fed up with Gov. Greg Abbott’s attacks on the right to vote, the right for women to make decisions about their own reproductive health care, and the right to have power in their own homes. They deserve a governor who puts their interests first, and in his long career of fighting tirelessly for Texans, Beto O’Rourke has done exactly that.
“Beto has built an energetic, people-powered movement focused on fixing the power grid, funding a world-class education system, and expanding access to affordable health care. We look forward to supporting Beto O’Rourke as he fights for a Texas government that serves all Texans — not just the powerful and well-connected.”
