Chip in today to elect Dem govs across the country >>
Democratic governors are leading the fight against Donald Trump and his administration – and they need your help. Trump and his allies have hundreds of millions of dollars to attack our candidates, and we have to make sure we’ve got the resources to fight back. With 36 races on the map this November, 80% of Americans will cast their vote for their next governor. We need to invest NOW to expand our map, win in battleground states, protect our blue firewall of Dem govs, and flip critical states from red to blue. Can Dem govs count on you to chip in right now?
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.”
