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 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.”
