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 Vernon Jones Joining Nasty GOP Primary In Georgia
Today, with the encouragement of former President Trump, former State Representative Vernon Jones officially announced his campaign against vulnerable incumbent Brian Kemp to be the Republican nominee for governor.
Democratic Governors Association Executive Director Noam Lee released the following statement:
“Today’s announcement from Vernon Jones is the official beginning of the end for Brian Kemp, who was already facing major economic backlash after restricting voting rights and stuck in a public feud with Trump over the 2020 election.
“As a result, Democrats are energized to beat Brian Kemp, Republicans don’t like him either – and if he even makes it out of this brutal and divisive primary there’s no doubt he’ll be in deep trouble with independents too. Jones’ announcement also opens the door for more candidates to join an even bigger and nastier Republican primary, especially with Trump’s promised campaign to defeat Kemp.
“But no matter who wins the GOP nomination, we’re eager to get the job done and elect a Democratic governor in Georgia in order to protect and expand voting rights, ensure access to quality health care, and create more jobs and economic opportunity for all Georgians.”
