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 GOP Governors Sending in National Guard to Washington, D.C.
DGA Statement on GOP Governors Sending in National Guard to Washington, D.C.
The following is a statement from DGA Chair Governor Laura Kelly:
“Serving as the Commander in Chief of the Kansas National Guard is a solemn duty. I implore my colleagues from Ohio, West Virginia, South Carolina, Mississippi and every other state to reject the temptation to use their soldiers to reinforce a dangerous, politically motivated agenda. Our Guardsmen and women enlist to serve when needed in the case of domestic disasters, to ensure the public’s safety and to protect national security. To deploy them to another jurisdiction, without the request and consent of that state’s governor—or, in this case, the local authorities of Washington, D.C.—undermines the mission of the National Guard, wastes resources needed for real emergencies, and, perhaps worst of all, adds to the divisiveness that already threatens our United States.”
