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?
GOP Candidates for Governor Must Answer for Trump’s Jan 6th Pardons
GOP Candidates for Governor Must Answer for Trump’s Jan 6th Pardons
Today, Democratic Governors Association National Press Secretary Devon Cruz released the following statement after President Donald Trump pardoned, commuted the prison sentences, or vowed to dismiss the cases of over 1,500 people charged with or convicted of crimes related to the January 6th riots, including those who violently attacked police officers:
“Instead of taking action to address the biggest issues facing working families in America, Donald Trump began his second term by undermining public safety and law enforcement, letting over 1,500 rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol off the hook for their crimes. As Republican candidates for governor in New Jersey and Virginia face pressure to prove their loyalty to MAGA extremism above all else in order to win their nominations, they need to answer whether or not they support freeing people convicted of assaulting law enforcement and other serious crimes.”Polling has found that pardoning these criminals is deeply unpopular across party lines.
