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?
Fung and Morgan Silent on Gun Violence As Thousands Rally in Providence
This weekend, Governor Gina Raimondo addressed the thousands of Rhode Islanders who came together in Providence to demand action to prevent gun violence while Republican gubernatorial candidates Patricia Morgan and Allan Fung remained conspicuously silent.
Of course, hiding and “choosing to remain silent” is nothing new for Fung: he refused to speak out for a week after the shooting in Parkland before he admitted that he doesn’t support taking action to protect Rhode Islanders from gun violence.
Morgan knows her rejection of all gun safety measures is far outside the mainstream of Rhode Island. Last year, she even voted to allow convicted domestic violence offenders to own guns.
“Thousands of Rhode Islanders came together this weekend to demand action on gun violence, but Allan Fung and Patricia Morgan were totally silent,” said DGA Communications Director Jared Leopold.“Rhode Island needs a leader who will take action to protect families from gun violence. That leader is Governor Gina Raimondo.”
