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 Governor-Elect Tony Evers’ Victory in Wisconsin
DGA Chair Governor Jay Inslee (D-WA) issued the following statement on Governor-Elect Tony Evers’ victory in Wisconsin’s gubernatorial race:
“To borrow one of Tony Evers’ favorite phrases: Holy mackerel! Tonight, a science teacher from Baraboo knocked off one of the best-funded governors in America. This is a huge win for Wisconsin and for Democrats. It sent a clear message that Wisconsin is ready for a governor who’ll put schools, middle-class families and health care first.
“As a lifelong educator, Tony has always prioritized Wisconsin’s children, and he will continue to do so as Governor. Evers will bring people together to make the needed investments in Wisconsin’s future: its schools, roads, health care, and economy.
“This is a major pickup for Democrats that will have implications for years to come. Wisconsin was one of our top targets in our ‘Unrig the Map’ program. Thanks to Tony’s victory tonight, gerrymandering’s stranglehold on Wisconsin has ended for the next decade. The people of Wisconsin will again be able to select their politicians, instead of the other way around.”
The DGA and its allies were proud to invest $11 million to advocate for policy change in Wisconsin.
