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 Former Donald Trump Economic Advisor Betsy McCaughey Running for Governor in Connecticut

DGA spokesperson Kevin Donohoe released the following statement in response to Betsy McCaughey running for governor in Connecticut:

“Betsy McCaughey has spent the last years of her career shilling for Donald Trump’s deeply unpopular agenda that is driving up costs for middle-class families. The last thing Connecticut families need right now is a Trump mouthpiece as their governor. With McCaughey in the race, this primary is a messy MAGA melee that will leave the eventual Republican nominee badly out of touch with Connecticut families.”

Connecticut’s GOP primary is less than a month old and is already a chaotic MAGA mess:

  • Erin Stewart kicked off the GOP infighting by touting her relationship with Donald Trump and smearing Ryan Fazio as an “insider” and a “wealthy, out-of-touch politician.” An outside money pro-Fazio group went scorched earth against Stewart before she even launched her campaign, releasing a mailer “that attacked Stewart’s record … and described her as ‘anti-Trump.’”
  • Now, Betsy McCaughey is adding to the chaos by bragging about her record as a political insider and her ties to Trump. As CT Insider reports, Trump’s endorsement will be a “wild card” in the race, with McCaughey “likely to hurt both [Fazio and Stewart] fairly equally.”
