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?
Governors Shumlin and Hassan Urge Passage of Unemployment Extension
Today Governor of Vermont and DGA Chair Peter Shumlin and Governor Maggie Hassan sent a letter to Speaker John Boehner and Leader Nancy Pelosi urging the passage of the Emergency Unemployment Compensation Extension Act. This bill would provide economic support for the over 2 million Americans still struggling to find work after years of recession and job loss.
Governors Shumlin and Hassan, and governors across the country, stand ready to implement the Emergency Unemployment Compensation Extension Act. These unemployment benefits are critical to families and governors across the country have successfully implemented retroactive benefits extensions in the past.
