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?
ICYMI: Conservative Columnist: Gillespie ‘Doesn’t Appear Ready’ to Clean Up Virginia GOP after Charlottesville
WaPo’s Leahy: Gillespie has not yet rebuked Corey Stewart
Today, conservative Washington Post columnist Norman Leahy highlighted Ed Gillespie’s failure to take on fellow Virginia Republican Corey Stewart, who has refused to specifically blame white nationalists for the attack in Charlottesville.
