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 Darren Bailey Becoming the Republican Nominee for Governor of Illinois
DGA Executive Director Noam Lee released the following statement on Darren Bailey securing the Republican gubernatorial nomination in Illinois:
“Darren Bailey is a MAGA extremist who’s threatening to drag Illinois backwards. With his far-right, out-of-touch stances on critical issues from abortion to guns to COVID, a would-be Governor Darren Bailey is a danger to all Illinoisans. His endorsements from Trump cronies like Steve Bannon and Mary Miller are the icing on the cake, leaving no room for doubt that Bailey is far too conservative for Illinois.
“Tonight’s results show that Bailey is already failing to unify Republican support behind his candidacy, a task that will only become more difficult as voters learn more about his ultra-conservative views on key issues. There is no doubt Illinois will reject him and his dangerous agenda this November.”
