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?
Gillespie v. Gillespie: The Many Faces of Ed Gillespie on Health Care
In a debate debacle last night, Ed Gillespie made a mess on health care, contradicting himself and trying to have it every which way on the Graham-Cassidy plan. Even this morning, there’s still no indication of where Gillespie actually stands on this plan to cut $1.2 billion from health care in Virginia and kick over 800,000 Virginians off their coverage.
During the debate, Gillespie dodged and prevaricated, appearing to criticize the Graham-Cassidy plan:
But then afterwards, Gillespie and his team hit back hard against that impression, saying that he’s not taking a stance on the disastrous plan to rip healthcare from thousands of Virginia families:
“Ed Gillespie’s bungled debate responses on the dangerous Graham-Cassidy health care plan left Virginia voters with more questions than answers,” said DGA Communications Director Jared Leopold. “So which is it? Where does Ed Gillespie actually stand on this bill? And why won’t he stand up on a federal bill with a $1.2 billion impact on Virginia’s budget that would kick 800,000 Virginians off their coverage?”
