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 next 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 Steve Pearce’s Nomination in New Mexico
Tonight, Democratic Governors Association Executive Director Elisabeth Pearson released the following statement on U.S. Rep. Steve Pearce’s gubernatorial nomination in New Mexico:
“Rep. Steve Pearce is too extreme for New Mexico.
“New Mexico Republicans just nominated a Donald Trump clone for governor. Steve Pearce is ranked asone of the top 10 most far-right Republican members of Congress, and he has sided with President Trump on nearly 9 out of 10 votes cast in Congress. Congressman Pearce has shown himself to be out of touch with what New Mexico families need on issues from immigration to access to health care and education.
“New Mexico voters are ready to turn the page on Susana Martinez’s disastrous tenure as governor, and Steve Pearce represents more of the same failed agenda that has hurt families and weakened the state’s economy.
“By nominating Steve Pearce, one of the most extreme politicians in the entire country, Republicans have shown that they value Trump idol worship over all else. The DGA looks forward to winning back New Mexico this fall.”
