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 next 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?
Governor Shumlin Statement on Governor Malloy’s Announcement to Seek Re-election
Vermont Governor Peter Shumlin, Chair of the Democratic Governors Association, today issued the following statement regarding Governor Dan Malloy’s decision to seek re-election:
“Governor Dan Malloy’s leadership has focused on strengthening Connecticut’s future by giving businesses the help they need to grow and create good jobs, balanced the budget and reduced the state’s long-term debt. In addition, last night Governor Malloy made Connecticut the first state in the nation to increase the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour.
“On behalf of our Democratic governors, I’d like to congratulate Governor Malloy on his decision to seek re-election. Unlike Republicans who are committed to rewarding the wealthiest and corporations at the expense of the middle class, Governor Malloy is focused on creating good-paying, middle-class jobs, making the critical investments in education, infrastructure, and innovation that will lead to long-term growth. Republicans are on the wrong side of these issues and will be rejected by voters in November.”
