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?

Democratic governors discussing the impact on their states will include: DGA Chair Dan Malloy (CT), Gina Raimondo (RI), John Hickenlooper (CO), Steve Bullock (MT), John Bel Edwards (LA) and Roy Cooper (NC).
