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 the Results of the Virginia Gubernatorial Election
The following is a statement by DGA Executive Director Noam Lee on the results of the Virginia governor’s race:
“Terry McAuliffe ran a strong, positive campaign focused on the issues that matter most. The central goal of his campaign — to build a better Virginia that works for everyone — resonated with voters, and despite the outcome, we saw that reflected in last night’s close results.
“Unfortunately, Virginia’s long-standing trend of electing a governor from the opposite party of the president continues. Sidestepping the issues that mattered to voters, the GOP lied and schemed to hide their candidate’s extreme positions, and their far-right agenda won out.
“The DGA remains committed to advancing the optimistic vision that Terry McAuliffe championed — in Virginia and across the country. While this loss is a setback in moving forward, it will only energize the DGA to continue to fight to and expand our coalition of Democratic governors.”
