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 Terry McAuliffe Becoming the Democratic Nominee for Governor of Virginia
Tonight, DGA Chair New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham released the following statement on Terry McAuliffe’s primary victory in Virginia:
“Congratulations to Terry McAuliffe on his victory tonight in Virginia. Terry is a proven leader with a track record of delivering results for Virginians. Throughout his time as governor, Terry implemented bold initiatives to create good-paying jobs and expand economic opportunity across the Commonwealth. Now, as Virginia rebuilds following the pandemic, Terry will work as governor to create an economy that works for all Virginians and uplift those who have been hit the hardest.”
“The DGA looks forward to helping elect Terry as governor of Virginia once again, and the stakes could not be higher. Glenn Youngkin is an extreme, far-right, Trump-backed Republican set on ripping up the progress that Virginia has made in the last eight years. Terry repeatedly took on a right-wing legislature to stand up for Virginians, and we know he’ll stop Youngkin from bringing Trump’s policies and politics to the Commonwealth. The choice in this election could not be clearer, and Virginians know Terry will have their back as governor.”
